Every Saturday night at Canvas Loft Bar, Bournemouth
Southbourne is one of the most vibrant and community-spirited suburbs on the south coast — a hub of independent shops, excellent restaurants, and a genuinely engaged local audience. And soon, Southbourne will have its own dedicated comedy club to match. Jaggers is opening a new venue in Southbourne in late spring 2026, bringing professional weekly stand-up comedy directly to the heart of the neighbourhood. Until then, Jaggers Bournemouth Comedy Club runs every Saturday at Canvas Loft Bar on Poole Hill — just 1.5 miles from Southbourne's high street and one of the best Saturday nights out on the south coast. Whether you come to Bournemouth now or wait for the doors of the new Southbourne venue to open, great live comedy is closer than ever for BH6 residents.
Every Saturday at Jaggers, doors open at 7:30pm and the show starts at 8pm at Canvas Loft Bar on Poole Hill, Bournemouth. A professional host opens the evening and introduces multiple stand-up comedians from the UK comedy circuit — original material, proper professional acts, the calibre you would see at the Edinburgh Fringe or at top London comedy clubs. The show runs for approximately two hours in an intimate venue where every seat is close to the stage and the atmosphere builds from the first act to the last. After the show finishes at around 10pm, every ticket includes access to the afterparty at no extra charge. For Southbourne residents making the short journey into Bournemouth town centre, the return trip is just as easy — by taxi, by bus, or on foot along the seafront if the evening is warm enough.
Southbourne sits just 1.5 miles east of Bournemouth town centre, making it one of the easiest locations in the entire region to reach Jaggers without needing a car. By taxi the journey is 5 to 10 minutes; by local bus services along Christchurch Road it is around 15 minutes; and by foot along the coastal path via Boscombe Pier and Bournemouth Pier it is a 35-minute scenic walk on a warm evening. For Southbourne residents who want to drive, town-centre parking is available at the Westover Road NCP and Pier Approach car park, both a short walk from Canvas Loft Bar on Poole Hill. Southbourne has long been a neighbourhood that appreciates independent entertainment — the local restaurant scene, the independent shops, and a genuine sense of community make it one of the best-connected and most enthusiastic comedy audiences in the Bournemouth area. Pokesdown, Tuckton, and Wick residents are equally well-placed, making the whole BH6 corridor a natural home for Jaggers fans. Tickets for Bournemouth shows start from just £10 with dynamic pricing — book early at bournemouthcomedyclub.co.uk before prices rise.
