Brighton
Have you ever wanted to take your children to a comedy gig but worried there might be unsuitable content? Have you ended up taking them and squirmed in your seat when a potty-mouthed comedian was in full flow?
A wealth of comedy talent will descend on Brighton Dome’s three historic venues this month for the inaugural Brighton Dome Comedy Festival.
From 24-27 October, Brighton Dome’s inaugural annual Comedy Festival will fill the venue’s three historic event spaces with stand-up, improv, clowning, workshops and the world premiere of a 20th anniversary exhibition from cult cartoonists and animators Modern Toss.
This year’s Brighton Comedy Garden presented by heycar is back in Preston Park in just a few weeks (3rd-7th July) with an all-star cast of comedy icons headlining in the Big Top.
What do you get if you cross a childhood guessing game involving flipping tiles, a comedy séance, and a saucy TikTok comedian? The answer is a bit of a messy hour of ramshackle whowazzit and innuendo, more suited to the late night slot our host is accustomed to than the early afternoon he is currently in. But with the windows blacked out and the wet bar at the back declared open, plus bottles of ‘Holy Water’ liberally scattered throughout the seating, the scene is set.
Zoe Lyons has been through the mill in the last few years – but haven’t we all, she acknowledges. She is one of us, we are her friends, her gang of fellow reprobates and mischief-makers. And as she confides and draws magic stories in the sky with vividly ridiculous and absolutely laughable imagery in similes, it’s a real blast to be on board this eccentric train ride for an hour.

2019 was record-breaking for Brighton Fringe with over 600,000 attendees, while 2020 saw the Festival explore digital performance for the first time. Now, for 2021, the festival is back with the most exciting and unusual cabaret, circus and comedy, dance, drama and drag. In the spirit of invention that has always inspired the Fringe, this year will be a hybrid festival with a mixture of live and digital shows.
