Alison Spittle: Big

Alison Spittle is bringing her stand-up show, Big, to the Studio Theatre at the Brighton Dome on Saturday, 14 March 2026. If you follow her work, you might recognise her from appearances on television programmes like House of Games, Celebrity Goggle Box, and Pointless Celebrities. She is also a regular voice on several podcasts, including Off Menu, The Gargle, Trusty Hogs, and Magazine Party. This particular show, Big, centres on a personal story about a train encounter that shifted her perspective, leading her to explore the question of whether it is more practical to change oneself or the world around us.

The show has received recognition, including the Comedian’s Choice Award for Best Show at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe and the Best Performer Award at the 2025 Dublin Fringe. It has also been discussed in various publications, including The Scotsman, The Irish Times, The Herald, Rolling Stone, and the Daily Express. For those planning to attend, the performance is scheduled for 19:30, with doors opening at 18:45. Tickets are priced at £19.00. There is a £3.50 booking fee for orders placed online or by phone, though this charge is waived for Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival members.

Regarding the age suitability, there is some variation in the information provided, with some sources noting an 18+ restriction while others suggest a 14+ recommendation. It is worth checking the specific venue details if this is a factor for your plans. The show is being hosted in the Studio Theatre, which is a familiar space for those who frequent the Brighton Dome’s programme. It is a straightforward opportunity to see a show that has been touring following its festival success. The venue is centrally located, making it accessible for those already in the city centre.
