Comic Boom Comedy Club

If you’re starting to pencil in plans for next autumn, make sure to save Thursday, October 22, 2026, for the Comic Boom Comedy Club at the Komedia Basement. This event has built a solid reputation in the city for delivering a fast-paced, feel-good night of comedy, consistently featuring a mix of rising stars, great MCs, and a top headline comic. The venue itself, Komedia, is a cornerstone of Brighton’s live entertainment scene, having secured the Chortle Comedy Award for Best Southern Venue 18 times. The club’s own standing is high, too; it was the winner of the CHORTLE AWARD in both 2024 and 2025.

It’s also known for being a launchpad, having hosted early appearances by comedians who are now household names, such as Seann Walsh, Romesh Ranganathan, Sara Pascoe, and Nish Kumar. Critics have noted that the club offers a night of variety and big laughs, proving that the local comedy scene is thriving. The event also maintains a strong connection to developing new talent, running in association with Jill Edwards Comedy Workshops.

If you decide to head down to 44-47 Gardner Street for the show, doors open at 6:30 PM, with the comedy starting an hour later at 7:30 PM (19:30). The setup uses unreserved cabaret seating, which means you pick your spot when you arrive, so planning your arrival time might be helpful if you have a preference. For practical needs, the venue is fully accessible for wheelchairs and offers a snack menu.

Tickets are available online, priced at £10.00 Standard and £8.00 Concession. Just remember that this is strictly an Ages 18+ event, and like most live comedy nights, the specific line-ups are always subject to change.
