Alex Kitson: It's For You

If you are planning your Brighton Fringe schedule for May, you might have noticed that Alex Kitson is back in town. He is bringing his latest stand-up hour, titled It's For You, to the Laughing Horse @ Caroline of Brunswick. It is a show that focuses on the concept of attention, with the comedian inviting the audience to focus on him throughout the month of May. Given his background—having been nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2024 Edinburgh Comedy Awards and receiving recognition for his work at the Edinburgh Fringe—it is a show that has been on the radar for those following the comedy circuit.

The venue, located at 39 Ditchling Road, is hosting several performances of this show throughout the festival. You can catch him on May 1st at 19:00, May 9th at 19:00, May 25th at 17:45, and May 30th at 20:15. It is worth noting that this is a free entry event, though, as is common with many Fringe shows, there is the option to make a donation to the artist at the end if you choose to do so.

Before you head over, there are a few practical details to keep in mind regarding the venue. The Caroline of Brunswick has a strict 18+ policy, and they do not allow children, including infants, into the space. Additionally, while the venue is generally welcoming, the specific room used for this performance is located on an upper floor and is not accessible for wheelchair users. If you are planning to bring an assistance dog, they are permitted in the venue. It is a straightforward setup for a comedy hour, and if you are looking for something to fill an evening during the Fringe, these dates offer a few different options to fit into your calendar.
