Located right in the centre of Brighton next to the Clock Tower, just down the hill from the station, The Quadrant is one of Brighton's oldest watering holes - It's a quirky little independent boozer with a live music, comedy and craft workshops room upstairs and a covered outdoor seating area out the back. The Fringe performance space for Fringe shows is the upstairs "Folklore Room" which hosts Fringe shows all day and night at weekends, and in the evenings during the week.

Ben Pope ('a total delight' - Fest) performs the ancient, hallowed, mystic art of stand-up comedy with a notebook full of stories and a brain full of junk.

Ben has appeared on Achievement Unlocked (Comedy Central), Comedy Guide to Life (Dave), BBC New Comedy Award on Radio 4 Extra, and supported Kieran Hodgson (Two Doors Down) on tour.
