Catherine Bohart: Borrowing Trouble

Catherine Bohart is bringing her latest stand-up show, Borrowing Trouble, to the Brighton Dome on October 16, 2026. This performance is scheduled as part of the Brighton Dome Comedy Festival. For those familiar with her previous work, this show follows her earlier projects like Immaculate and Lemon. Bohart, who is an Irish comedian born in 1988, has built a career through both live touring and television appearances on shows such as Mock the Week and QI. She is also known for her work as a co-host on the podcast You'll Do. Seeing her perform in the context of the local comedy festival offers a chance to see how her material has evolved since her earlier tours.

The content of Borrowing Trouble centres on the themes of generational anxiety and the complexities of family life. The title is derived from a specific piece of advice from her father, which acts as a prompt to consider the futility of worrying about events that may never actually occur. Throughout the set, she navigates these topics by sharing what she frames as horrendous life advice, a sense of nihilism, and the process of reluctant self-discovery. It is a performance that relies on a candid approach to personal history, aiming to translate these internal concerns into a stand-up format.

If you are planning to attend, the event is hosted at the Corn Exchange, which is part of the Brighton Dome complex on Church Street, BN1 1UE. The doors are set to open at 20:00, with the show beginning at 20:30. The event is suitable for those aged 16 and over. Regarding the logistics, the standard ticket price is £19.00. If you are booking online or over the phone, there is a £3.50 fee per order, though this does not apply to members. This Brighton date is part of a wider tour that runs from September through November 2026, with stops in various cities including London, Leeds, Newcastle, and Edinburgh. It provides a look at her current material as she travels across the UK and Ireland.
