Amy Mason – Behold!

If you have been looking for something to do in Brighton towards the end of April, Amy Mason is bringing her show, Behold!, to Komedia on Thursday, 23 April 2026. It is a stand-up comedy set that focuses on the realities of digital dependency, friendship, and community. The premise is quite specific: Mason was hacked, which resulted in her losing her phone number, bank account, and social media access. Things took a strange turn when the hackers actually started sending her gifts. It is described as a dive into intimacy and the risks of using your dead cat’s name as a password for everything, delivered with her signature deadpan style. The show is directed by Jessica Fostekew.

Mason has a background in radio, having appeared on Radio 1, Radio 5, and Radio 4, and her previous show, Free Mason, was well-received. Behold! was also included in the Guardian’s list of the top 10 funniest jokes from the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe. Critics have noted her comic timing and described the show as witty and unfiltered. Beyond the stage, her content has gained traction online, with over 20 million views on TikTok, which gives you a sense of the kind of humour she brings to the table.

The event at Komedia is scheduled to run from 20:00 to 22:00. Tickets are priced at £18.00, though it is worth keeping in mind that prices for these types of events can sometimes fluctuate. It is a straightforward comedy night that touches on themes many of us deal with daily, like how much we rely on our devices and the complexities of modern social connections. If you are in the mood for a show that balances being a bit silly with some sharper observations on life, this might be worth checking out while she is in town.
