Dan Nightingale & Friends

Dan Nightingale brings his Dan Nightingale & Friends night to The Forge Comedy Club on Thursday 15 October, as part of the Forge Comedy Club Tour presented by Funny That Comedy. Nightingale, who hosts the Have A Word podcast, takes the first half of the evening working the room and running through his new set, before handing over to two polished sets from Eshaan Akbar and Phil Nichol. The night is billed as an eclectic mix of up-and-coming comedians alongside seasoned performers, with stand-up, character sketches and other forms of comedic storytelling.

The Forge is a 200-seater room, and the intimate size means the energy and banter carry across the crowd. It's an unreserved seating venue, so seats are allocated on arrival. The show runs for two hours and is for ages 16 and above, with under-18s needing to be accompanied by an adult.

Doors open at 6:30 PM, and the show runs from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Tickets are £17.72, and the club is at Ironworks Studios, 30 Cheapside, Brighton BN1 4GD.
