Funny That Summer Comedy Festival: Special Guest, Sean McLoughlin and MC Stephen Grant

If you are looking for plans for early June, the Funny That Summer Comedy Festival is returning to the Brighton Open Air Theatre on June 6, 2026. It is an outdoor event, which is a familiar format for those who frequent the venue at Dyke Road Park. The lineup for this specific afternoon includes Sean McLoughlin as the special guest, alongside MC Stephen Grant, who is known for running The Forge comedy club. There is also an additional special guest currently pending announcement, so the final roster is still taking shape.

The event is scheduled for the afternoon, with doors opening at 14:30. The show itself kicks off at 15:30 and is expected to wrap up around 17:15. Since it is an outdoor venue, it is worth noting that the performances go ahead regardless of the weather, unless conditions become dangerous for the performers or the audience. It is usually a good idea to check the forecast and dress accordingly, perhaps bringing layers or waterproofs just in case. Seating is not reserved, so it operates on a first-come, first-served basis, which might influence when you decide to arrive.

Regarding the logistics, tickets are available through various online platforms. The base prices are set at 18.00 GBP for concessions and 20.00 GBP for standard entry, though you might see slight variations between 19.85 GBP and 21.97 GBP on some sites, which typically account for booking fees. The event has a strict age restriction of 14+, and anyone under 18 needs to be accompanied by an adult. It is a straightforward setup for a Saturday afternoon if you are in the mood for some comedy in an open-air setting.
