Comic Boom Comedy Club

If you're looking for a reliable night out that focuses on genuinely fresh talent, the Comic Boom Comedy Club at Komedia is always a solid choice. This club, founded by Jill Edwards back in 2005, has built a serious reputation for spotting future stars—people like Seann Walsh, Romesh Ranganathan, Sara Pascoe, Sarah Millican, and James Acaster all came through here early on. It’s not just local chatter; the club has won the prestigious CHORTLE AWARD in both 2024 and 2025, confirming its status as a key platform for the most original and exciting emerging comics before they hit the big time or television. The club is specifically focused on being the best night of new comedy in Britain, presenting a mix of MCs, a selection of those exciting emerging acts, and a top-tier headliner.

The format itself is designed to be a feel-good, fast-paced night. For those planning ahead, the next show we're tracking is on Thursday, November 26, 2026. The doors open at 6:30 PM, and the show kicks off an hour later at 7:30 PM, all happening downstairs in the familiar setting of the Komedia Basement at 44-47 Gardner Street. Seating is unreserved cabaret style, so if you want a good spot, arriving closer to the door time is probably wise, and they do have a snack menu available if you get peckish during the show.

When it comes to tickets, they are priced reasonably at £10 standard, or £8 if you qualify for concessions. It’s important to note that entry is strictly restricted to AGES 18+. On a practical level, the venue is fully wheelchair accessible, and many customers specifically highlight the excellent accessibility of the Comic Boom setup. Considering that Komedia Brighton itself has won the Chortle Award for Best Comedy Venue in the South and East 18 times, you know the setting for this showcase of new talent is consistently high quality.
