Crowd Work with President Obonjo

If you are looking for something a bit different to do in Brighton this May, President Obonjo is bringing his latest show to the city. He is performing Crowd Work with President Obonjo at the Laughing Horse @ Caroline of Brunswick, and as the title suggests, the entire premise relies on the audience. Rather than a scripted stand-up set, the show is built around the President interacting directly with the people in the room, asking questions and using those responses to drive the comedy. It is a format that puts the audience in the spotlight, so it is worth keeping in mind that you might be part of the conversation if you choose to go.

The show is produced by Lafta Republic Productions and runs for 60 minutes. There are two dates scheduled for this run: 4 May 2026 and 25 May 2026, with both performances starting at 7:00 pm. Tickets are priced at £10. Since this is an 18+ event, it is strictly for adults, and the venue does not allow children under two years old, following their standard 'Babes in Arms' policy.

Regarding the venue itself, it is worth noting a few practical details before you book. The performance space at the Laughing Horse @ Caroline of Brunswick is located on the upper floor. Unfortunately, this specific area does not have wheelchair access, so it is something to consider if that affects your plans. On a more positive note, the venue does welcome assistance dogs. If you are interested in checking out the show, it is a straightforward setup: a comedian, a microphone, and an audience that helps shape the direction of the evening.
