Forge Comedy Club

The Forge Comedy Club has a new line-up coming to Ironworks Studios 30 on Saturday 8 August, with Tom Ward, Alexandra Haddow and Tom Deacon taking the stage. It's a standard stand-up night: three acts in a row, with MC Stephen Grant keeping the evening moving between them. The show runs from 20:00 to 22:30, so it's a late one that carries on well into the night.

If you haven't been, The Forge is Brighton's resident comedy club, and it's built up a bit of a track record over the last few years. It's picked up a Tripadvisor Traveller's Choice Award 2025, Chortle's Best Comedy Venue 2024, Best Pro Comedy Night 2023 in the South, and Comic's Comic Best Promoter 2022. It's not just a one-off night, either; it's a regular fixture in the city's comedy scene.

The venue itself is a state-of-the-art room at Ironworks Studios on Cheapside, so you're in the heart of the city rather than tucked away on the outskirts. It's a dedicated space for stand-up, which means you get the proper club feel rather than a comedy night squeezed into the back of a pub.

Standard tickets are £13.46, which is a guide price and subject to change. With the show running from 20:00 to 22:30, you've got a full evening of comedy ahead of you. If you're planning to head down, it's worth keeping the location in mind: Ironworks Studios 30, Cheapside, Brighton, BN1 4GD.
