Gary Meikle: Yer Maw

If you are looking for something to do on a Sunday afternoon, Gary Meikle is bringing his latest comedy show, Yer Maw, to the Komedia in Brighton on May 24, 2026. The show kicks off at 17:30 and runs for about 80 to 90 minutes. It is a solo performance, so there are no opening acts to sit through; it is just Gary on stage sharing his take on daily life, his family, and the various situations he finds himself in. He has mentioned that he writes his material without a fixed script in mind beforehand, focusing on personal stories rather than generic observations, which usually means the content feels quite specific to his own experiences.

Since the venue is located at 44-47 Gardner Street, it is right in the middle of the North Laine area, making it a pretty easy spot to reach if you are already in the city centre or coming from the Brighton train station. It is worth noting that this is a ticketed event. For this specific date in Brighton, the pricing is set at £8.00 for concessions and £10.00 for standard tickets. It is a bit different from some of the other dates on his wider tour, where prices can range between £27.00 and £30.25, so the Brighton show is priced distinctly for this venue.

Regarding the audience, the show carries an age advisory of 16+. Gary is quite clear that this is not intended for younger audiences, and children will not be admitted, even though he might occasionally talk about them during his set. The show is essentially a collection of his opinions and stories, and yes, it does include at least one joke about 'yer maw'—or his grandmother—as the title suggests. If you are familiar with his style, you will know what to expect, but if you are new to his work, it is essentially a straightforward stand-up set focused on his personal observations.
