Gary Delaney: Gary on Laughing

Gary Delaney, the comedian famous for his sharp one-liners and frequent appearances on shows like Mock the Week, is bringing his brand new stand-up show, Gary on Laughing, to Brighton next year. This performance is part of a massive UK tour that runs from April right through to November 2026, hitting 86 different venues across the country. For us locals, the date to mark is Saturday, 25 July 2026, when he takes the stage at the Theatre Royal Brighton on New Road. It’s scheduled as a 'One Night Only' event, kicking off promptly at 7:30 PM.

If you’re familiar with Delaney’s style, you know he specializes in crafting quick, punchy jokes, but this show promises entirely new material, honed over months. The description of Gary on Laughing is pretty clear about the content: expect a healthy mix of “funnies and filth” in equal measure, specifically promising “splendid filth.” Because of the strong language and sexual references involved, the show has a strict age guidance of 16+. It is explicitly noted that the performance won't be suitable for children or anyone who might be easily offended by adult themes, so consider that a fair warning before booking.

The performance is set to run for 1 hour and 40 minutes, which includes an interval, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the new jokes. Since this is a major stop on his extensive tour, tickets are already available. While prices can shift depending on availability, the guide price for a standard ticket in Brighton is currently around £32.69. If you enjoy quick-fire, adult-themed comedy and want to catch a completely fresh set from one of the UK’s most prolific joke writers, this July date at the Theatre Royal is one to keep an eye on.
