Stand-up comedy show by Jack Dee, titled 'Small World', where he promises to tackle big social issues but instead focuses on the trivial, nonsensical aspects of modern life.
Jack Dee is scheduled to bring his new stand-up show, Small World, to Brighton next year. He’ll be performing at Komedia on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. The premise of the show is quite a classic comedic setup: the marketing suggests he’s going to tackle the biggest issues of our time, like the culture wars, the environment, British foreign policy, and social justice. However, the actual content confirms that he fails spectacularly to even mention these weighty subjects, let alone address them seriously.

Instead of offering any grand political insights, Dee dedicates the evening to the truly small and meaningless things that dominate modern life. The entire focus shifts to the trivialities we all encounter, which is where the real comedy lies. If you’re looking for deep commentary, you won’t find it here; the show is about the absurdities of the mundane. Expect material centered on the etiquette of Zoom calls, the latest updates in the world of radiators, and his experiences with the worst professional advice offices. It’s a deep dive into the small stuff, offering a welcome break from the heavy topics the show initially promises to cover.
For those planning ahead, the show is set to start at 19:30 on that Wednesday evening. The venue is the familiar Komedia, located at 44-47 Gardner Street (BN1 1UN) right in the heart of the North Laine. If you’re considering tickets, the standard entry is currently listed with a guide price of £19.50. It’s a mid-week opportunity to see a major name in a local setting, offering a dose of dry, observational comedy focused entirely on the small world we actually inhabit.
