Live Music and Community Events at Komedia Brighton

Brighton’s live music scene has always had a distinct character, and at the heart of it is Komedia Brighton on Gardner Street. Located right in the middle of the North Laine area, this independent venue is a staple for local entertainment. While many know it for its comedy nights, the venue also hosts a variety of live music performances that bring different genres to the city. For those looking for classic sounds, the upcoming calendar includes Strictly Dan on June 11, 2026, performing the music of Steely Dan, and the soulful, deep, and disco house night, The House Of Roy, on July 11, 2026. Later in the summer, on August 25, 2026, GENA featuring Liv.e and Karriem Riggins will bring their unique sound to the stage.

Beyond the music, Komedia is deeply connected to the local community, frequently hosting fundraisers and charity events. The venue has worked alongside organizations like YMCA Brighton, which provides housing and support to vulnerable people in the area, and MindOut, an independent LGBTQ mental health service. It is also a founding member of the consortium supporting the Stand Up And Give Fund, established by the Live Comedy Association in 2025. Whether you are heading down for a specific gig or supporting one of their community-focused events, the venue remains a key space for gathering and enjoying live performances in Brighton.
