For one of the liveliest and most iconic entertainment arenas in the city, visit Komedia Brighton. With two large and atmospheric performance spaces, the venue is known for its diverse roster of comedy acts, cabaret and music, as well as club and party nights. Come to see a stand-up comedy show to relax and lose yourself in the laughter.
Arrive and admire the historic façade, which features a pair of red-and-white striped legs rising and dangling from the awning. Order food to be delivered to your seats in this practical arena, which has an on-site kitchen. Enjoy a few drinks, as you chuckle along to a stand-up routine.
In addition to comedy acts, the club arranges an eclectic range of events. Participate in a few rounds of musical bingo, which uses songs instead of numbers. Bring your kids to a Reggae Tots rave, where the little ones can dance surrounded by UV lights, balloons and bubbles.
Attend one of the concerts of up-and-coming bands in this venue, which prides itself on discovering new talents. Upstairs, you’ll find the Duke’s at Komedia Picturehouse, which shows a selection of the latest movies.
The venue has won the Chortle Comedy Award for Best Venue in the South many times over the years. For extra excitement, come when the spot is particularly lively during Brighton Fringe Festival and the Great Escape Festival.
The club generally puts on shows throughout the week, with up to five performances on weekends. Check the schedule on the official website and purchase tickets to see your favorite comedians.
Komedia Brighton is in the heart of the city, a little inland from the coastal promenade. Travel by bus to an adjacent stop or walk north from the Brighton Palace Pier for 10 minutes to get here. While you’re in the area, go to other nearby attractions such as the Brighton Dome, the Theatre Royal Brighton and the Pavilion Gardens.
