Fab Goualin: Work in Progress

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, Fab Goualin is bringing his comedy show to Brighton as part of the Brighton Independent Fringe Festival 2026. He is performing a 'Work in Progress' set, which usually means a chance to see a comedian testing out new material and refining their jokes before they hit the bigger stages. It is happening on May 30, 2026, at Artista, located at 42 Brighton Square. The show runs from 17:00 to 18:00, making it a fairly relaxed way to spend a late Friday afternoon.

Fab Goualin, who is a comedian, writer, DJ, and producer of French and Nigerian heritage, focuses his comedy on observations about nationality and cultural differences. He tends to frame his sets as a storyteller, looking for the absurd in everyday situations. His background includes being a finalist in 'So You Think You are Funny 2024' and a nominee for the 'BBC New Comedy Award 2025', so he has been active on the circuit recently. The show is aimed at an adult audience interested in stand-up and observational humor.

Tickets for the event are priced at £8.80. It is worth noting that this price is a guide and can fluctuate, so it is something to keep in mind if you are planning your budget for the weekend. Since this is a 'Work in Progress' show, the atmosphere is generally a bit more informal than a polished, final tour show, which can be an interesting experience if you enjoy seeing how a comedian develops their craft. If you are already planning to be around the Brighton Independent Fringe Festival, this fits into the schedule quite easily.
