Jim Daly: Match of the Daly

If you spend any time scrolling through online comedy, especially if you follow the football side of things, you’ve probably come across Jim Daly. He’s built up a following through his work on the FYP podcast, which focuses on Crystal Palace, and his regular appearances on JOE.co.uk’s Football Friday Live, making him one of the more recognizable faces in internet football comedy. Now, Daly is stepping away from the screen and onto the stage for his first ever solo UK tour, titled Match Of The Daly, which is scheduled to visit 30 locations throughout 2026.

For those of us in Brighton, we get our chance to see the show on Thursday, April 30, 2026. The performance is set to take place at the Komedia on Gardner Street, specifically in the Komedia Studio. The show is designed to bring his online persona to life, featuring the football parody songs he’s known for, alongside traditional stand-up monologues and some interactive game challenges with the audience. It sounds like a good mix of material for anyone who enjoys that specific blend of sports culture and comedy.

If you’re planning to go, the doors open at 19:30, with the show itself kicking off at 20:00. Tickets are priced around £13.50 for a standard entry, which is pretty reasonable for a touring comedian. Just a heads-up on logistics: seating is unreserved, so if you have a preferred spot, it might be worth getting there when the doors open. Also, the event has an age restriction of 16+, so it’s definitely aimed at an adult audience. It’s a solid opportunity to catch a well-known online personality translating their act to the live stage right here in East Sussex.
