Comic Boom Comedy Club

If you're looking for a reliable comedy night in Brighton that consistently delivers quality without the massive venue price tag, the Comic Boom Comedy Club at Komedia is always a solid choice. This club, which has been running since 2005 when Jill Edwards founded it, focuses on providing a fast-paced, 'feel-good' atmosphere while showcasing original emerging stars—the kind of talent that hasn't quite hit the big TV shows yet. It’s held in the familiar Komedia Basement at 44-47 Gardner Street, a venue that has earned recognition as the best independent spot in the South. The club itself has recently picked up the CHORTLE AWARD in both 2024 and 2025, which speaks volumes about the standard of comedy they maintain.

Their upcoming show on Thursday, March 26, 2026, features a strong lineup. The main feature for the evening is the established comedian Mark Thomas. Handling the hosting duties will be Mike Cox, and as is standard for Comic Boom, they will also feature several 'rising comedy stars' alongside the main acts. If you plan on attending, the doors open at 6:30 PM, and the show itself kicks off at 7:30 PM. Entry to the night is quite reasonable, with general tickets priced at £10, and concessions available for £8. It’s worth noting that seating is unreserved cabaret style, so arriving closer to the door time might be wise if you want a specific spot, especially since they offer a snack menu if you get hungry during the show.

This event is strictly for those Ages 18+. Comic Boom has built a reputation for being a platform where you can catch genuinely new and original voices, making it a great option for comedy lovers who appreciate context and quality without the usual big-club fanfare. It’s a chance to see both established names and new talent in a highly regarded local setting.
