Ashley Gavin: Big Momma

Ashley Gavin is bringing her latest stand-up show, Big Momma, to Brighton this spring. She is scheduled to perform at the Komedia Basement on 11 May 2026. The show is built around her personal experiences, specifically focusing on her fertility journey and the process of trying to conceive as a masculine lesbian.

For those heading to the venue at 44-47 Gardner Street, the doors are set to open at 18:30, with the show starting at 19:30. The Komedia Basement operates with unreserved cabaret-style seating, meaning you can choose your spot when you arrive. It is worth noting that the venue provides a snack menu, which might be useful if you are planning to grab a bite before the show begins. The age restriction for this particular event is 16+, so it is worth checking that if you are attending with a group.

Tickets for the Brighton date are priced at £28.50. The show is known for its focus on audience interaction, which is a common feature of the performances on this tour.
