Nigel Planer: Young Once in Southampton
Comedian Nigel Planer performs his stand-up show Young Once at The Attic in Southampton.
You can find a range of events across Southampton this week. Live music spans multiple genres, with performances at venues around the city. There are comedy shows for when you want to relax and laugh, and themed nights for those looking to enjoy a different kind of evening. For a more creative outlet, workshops and cultural experiences are available. Saturdays include opportunities to browse handmade crafts or enjoy a leisurely brunch.
You can find family-friendly options throughout the city, with green spaces, interactive museums, and playgrounds. The city's history dates back to the Stone Age, and it served as a major port for centuries, including the departure of the Mayflower. Modern maritime activity continues at the docks, where you can observe shipping alongside reminders of the past. Access is straightforward via the M27 and M3 motorways or Southampton Central Railway Station, though congestion during cruise season and limited parking near the waterfront and medieval walls can be an issue.
Whether you're meeting friends for drinks, planning a family outing, or exploring what’s on, there’s something for every pace. Check listings below for times and locations. You can find intimate gigs, larger-scale events, and more. A short drive away, the city's cultural venues offer a mix of music, comedy, and creative workshops.
