LPA Comedy Night

Thank you to the Lancing Parents Association who lit up the Lancing College Theatre on Friday 13 March with their much-anticipated annual Comedy Night, an evening that brought together parents from across the Lancing College family of schools, staff, and OLs for a celebration of wit, warmth and wonderfully sharp humour.

The audience were treated to an exceptional line-up. Multi-award-winning comedian Stephen Grant took the helm as emcee, steering the night with his quick-fire delivery and effortless charm.

President Obonjo, the larger-than-life comedic creation of British Nigerian performer Benjamin Bello launched into his performance with his satirical swagger and pitch-perfect character work brought a fresh, unpredictable energy that kept the audience on their toes.

Comedian, writer, former Footlights president and OL Ben Pope (Teme 2006–2011) took to the stage for a second year and his razor-sharp observations and brilliantly crafted storytelling had the Theatre roaring.

Closing the night was acclaimed British comedian and festival favourite Adam Bloom, whose masterful timing and inventive humour rounded off the event with a finale that left the room buzzing.

Every performer brought something unique – brilliant energy, clever humour, and a sense of fun that made the Lancing College Theatre feel alive. It was an evening of shared laughter, community spirit, and the kind of joyful escapism that only live comedy can offer.
