Amy Matthews: Definitions of Toast

If you are looking for something to do in Brighton this autumn, Amy Matthews is bringing her new comedy show, Definitions of Toast, to the Komedia Studio on Thursday, 22 October 2026. It is a chance to see her latest material, which moves through a variety of personal topics. She touches on things like the difficulty of feeling genuine anger, navigating her first queer relationship, and the process of recovering from having alcoholic partners. The show also includes some specific, slightly odd anecdotes, such as a run-in with a pigeon and a story about storing milk in her mother’s car.

For those familiar with her work, you might recognise her from appearances on shows like I Feel Like I'm Made of Spiders on ITVx, Comedy Central Live, or BBC’s Gifted. She has also been a regular on the Scot Squad and has contributed to the BBC Radio 4 podcast Dan Does Dating. This show seems to be a continuation of that style of storytelling, focusing on the specific, often messy details of daily life.

The event takes place at the Komedia venue located at 44-47 Gardner Street, Brighton, BN1 1UN. Doors open at 19:30, and the performance itself is scheduled to start at 20:00. It is worth noting that there is an age restriction of 16+ for this show. Tickets are priced at £13.00, with an additional booking fee of £2.00 applied by the venue. It is a straightforward setup for an evening out if you are interested in seeing her new set in a smaller, studio-style environment.
