It’s a Mystery!

If you’re already looking ahead to summer 2026, there’s a specific date to circle on your calendar for something a little different happening in Brighton. On Wednesday, July 8th, Komedia is hosting a show called It’s a Mystery!, which is exactly what it promises to be: a dedicated mystery show. The event is the latest solo venture from Tim Benzie, an artist many locals will know well. He’s the mind behind the hugely popular Solve Along A Murder She Wrote, but it’s worth noting that this July date is specifically for his one-man show, It’s a Mystery!, distinguishing it from the interactive Solve Along format. If you enjoy his style of storytelling and puzzle-solving, this is a chance to see his work focused on a different kind of narrative.

Komedia is a perfect fit for this kind of performance, known for its intimate atmosphere—low ceilings and a cozy feel, yet still accommodating a good audience size. You can find the venue right in the heart of things at 44-47 Gardner Street, BN1 1UN. It’s also a venue that gets consistently good feedback for its accessibility, which is always helpful to know. While the specific ticket price isn't available yet, the show is listed on the Komedia website with a prompt to ‘Book Tickets,’ so plan on this being a paid event. If you need to check details about the show or the venue closer to the date, the Box Office can be reached at 01273 647100. As with most of Komedia’s comedy programming, like the New Comedy Award, the general guidance for entry tends to be 16+, which gives you a good idea of the intended audience for the evening.
