Battle of the Reefs!

If you are looking for something to do with the kids on the afternoon of May 2nd, there is a show happening at the Secret Comedy Club called Battle of the Reefs!. It is an interactive comedy performance that mixes science, music, and games, specifically designed for children between the ages of 5 and 11, though it is open to all ages. The show is hosted by marine biologist and comedian Robyn Perkins, who is joined by comedian and singer Elaine Fellows. The premise revolves around a competition to determine which coral reef in the world is the best, and the audience is encouraged to share their own thoughts on which animals they find the most interesting. It covers a range of topics, from clever snails to deceptive insects, aiming to present facts in a way that keeps younger viewers engaged.

The event takes place at 42 Brighton Square, Brighton, BN1 4HD, and runs from 14:00 to 15:00. Regarding the logistics, there are a few different pricing options available depending on where you book. Standard tickets are listed starting at £5.50, with some sources noting an early bird rate at that same price point, while other platforms list standard entry from £8.80. There is also a family ticket option available for £33.00, which covers four people. It is worth noting that these prices can fluctuate, so it is best to check the specific booking platform you choose to use.

This production has received recognition in the past, including the 'Children's Event, Weekly Award' at the 2025 FW Perth festival and the 'Best In Comedy' award at the 2023 Shaftesbury Fringe. It is a straightforward setup: a mix of comedy and educational content that aims to make learning about marine life a bit more interactive for families. If you are planning to head down to the Secret Comedy Club, the timing is set for that early afternoon slot, making it a manageable activity for a weekend day.
