BBC Radio 4 Presents: Live From the UK

If you’re looking ahead to next week, specifically Monday, February 2nd, there’s a great opportunity coming up at Komedia. The venue is hosting a live recording of the flagship stand-up series from BBC Radio 4, officially titled BBC Radio 4 Presents: Live From the UK. This isn't just a regular comedy night; it's a chance to be part of the audience for a professional radio broadcast, capturing the energy of the Brighton crowd for listeners across the country later on. It’s always interesting to see how the recording process works firsthand, especially when it involves high-calibre talent.

The show is confirmed to be hosted by Angela Barnes, which is excellent news for comedy fans. Angela is well-known for her sharp work on television staples like Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo, so she brings serious credentials to the microphone. The format is pure stand-up, featuring a lineup of comedians performing sets that will eventually make up the radio episode. If you plan on attending, the event is scheduled for the evening, with doors opening at 6:30 PM. The actual show and recording session starts promptly at 7:30 PM, so you have an hour to settle in before the action begins.

For logistics, the event is happening in the Komedia Basement at the venue on Gardner Street. It’s worth noting the seating arrangement: it’s unreserved cabaret style. This means you’ll want to arrive closer to the 6:30 PM door time if you have a preference for where you sit, as spots are first-come, first-served. Also, keep in mind the age restriction; this show is strictly 16+, so it’s aimed at adults and older teens. While the specific ticket price isn't detailed, the listing on Komedia’s 'What's On' page confirms that this is a ticketed event requiring booking, similar to their other professional shows. It’s a solid way to start your week with some high-quality, nationally broadcast comedy.
