Comedy at Christmas: the Best of Edinburgh Fringe

Comedy at Christmas: the Best of Edinburgh Fringe comes to Komedia on Monday 14 December, bringing together a line-up of award winners, nominees and well-reviewed acts fresh from the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe. It's a showcase of the comedy that's been making its rounds up north over the summer, now gathered in one night in Brighton.

Six comics share the bill: Rachel Galvo, Tom Towelling, Cecily Hitchcock, Fab Goualin, Paul Hilleard and Andy Field. The night leans on the critical praise they've picked up along the way. Rachel Galvo's presence was described as electric by Chortle; Tom Towelling was nominated for The Skinny's Best Newcomer Award; Fab Goualin reached the semi-finals of the BBC New Comedy Award 2025 and the final of the Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year 2025; and Paul Hilleard won the BBC New Comedy Award in 2024.

It's a night in aid of Rockinghorse Children's Charity, so the ticket goes toward a local cause as well as the comedy. Seating is unreserved cabaret style, and the room is for ages 16 and over.

The show is in the Komedia Basement, at 44-47 Gardner Street, BN1 1UN. It starts at 7:30 pm, with doors opening at 6:30 pm, and tickets are £13.00.
