Wildest Bottomless Brunches and Events in Brighton

Brighton’s weekend scene often revolves around the standard eggs benedict and a quiet coffee, but the city’s venues are currently leaning into much louder, more chaotic alternatives. Leading this shift is the return of the Bogan Bingo Bottomless Brunch at Komedia on Gardner Street. This isn't a typical sit-down meal; it’s an 18+ comedy and bingo show hosted by the Bogan Bingo boys, featuring a DJ set heavy on 80s and 90s anthems. The event is structured around a 90-minute window for selected drinks, running from 12:30 to 14:00, while the full experience lasts from midday until 16:00. For those looking at the calendar, the next session is scheduled for Saturday, 28th March 2026, with further dates on 27th June, 24th October, and 21st November. Tickets are priced between #40.00 and #43.20, which covers the entertainment, the drinks window, and a brunch menu that includes four different options, catering to vegetarians and vegans as well.

If you are planning to head down with a larger group, the organisers suggest booking individually but then emailing tickets@komedia.co.uk to ensure everyone is seated together and food orders are coordinated. It’s a useful tip for anyone trying to organise a birthday or a group outing without the stress of a single massive transaction. The atmosphere at Komedia usually sets the tone for these kinds of high-energy events, and Bogan Bingo fits right into that tradition of irreverent, performance-led socialising that Brighton does particularly well. The venue itself is located at 44-47 Gardner Street, right in the heart of the North Laine, making it easy to find for anyone familiar with the area's usual weekend bustle.

For those who prefer their entertainment with a bit more spectacle, Forbidden Nights at Ironworks Studios on Cheapside offers a different kind of high-energy afternoon or evening. This male variety show is also strictly for those 18 and over, featuring a mix of acrobats, vocalists, fire acts, and aerial displays. It’s a step away from the bingo hall and into a more theatrical, variety-show environment. Dates for this run from 25th April through to 5th September 2026. Tickets range from #25.00 to #45.00 depending on where you want to sit, and they include a meet-and-greet with the cast after the performance. A notable addition to this ticket is free entry to the after-party at Pryzm on West Street, which helps bridge the gap between the show ending and the rest of the night out. The Ironworks Studios venue is located at 30 Cheapside, providing a dedicated space for these types of variety performances.

Beyond the bottomless and variety formats, the city’s schedule for March 2026 is packed with other one-off performances that share a similar focus on comedy and music. This Saturday, 14th March, Alison Spittle brings her show 'Big' to the Studio Theatre at Brighton Dome. It’s a slightly more relaxed setting than a bottomless brunch, with tickets at #19.00 (plus a #3.50 booking fee), but it keeps the focus on the comedy scene that defines much of Brighton’s nightlife. Later in the month, on the same day as the March Bogan Bingo (28th March), there is a U2 Baby tribute concert at the American Express Stadium starting at 19:30. Looking further ahead into the summer, the Could Be Real Tribute Festival is set for 12th June, continuing the trend of large-scale, entertainment-focused gatherings. Whether it’s bingo, variety acts, or stand-up, the current offerings in Brighton seem to be moving away from passive viewing and towards these more interactive, high-energy formats that fill the gap between a standard meal and a night out.
