Joan As Police Woman

If you have been following the local music scene in Brighton for a while, you might be familiar with the work of Joan Wasser, known professionally as Joan As Police Woman. She is returning to the city on February 21, 2027, for a performance at Komedia. This time, she is bringing her trio to the stage, which marks a shift from some of her larger ensemble arrangements. It is a specific kind of show, as the set is focused on performing her debut album, Real Life, in its entirety.

For those who have followed her career, which includes collaborations with artists like Damon Albarn and Iggy Pop, this performance offers a chance to revisit the material that established her solo project. Her sound is often described as a blend of punk-rock RnB and American Soul, drawing from influences as varied as Al Green, Isaac Hayes, The Smiths, and Siouxsie Sioux. The intention behind this specific tour is to present those early tracks live, providing a look back at the songwriting style that defined that period of her work.

The show is scheduled for a Sunday evening, with doors opening at 19:00. Komedia, located in the heart of Brighton, will host the event. Given the venue's layout and the nature of the trio performance, it should offer a relatively intimate setting for the music. If you are interested in attending, tickets are currently available through various ticketing platforms, and it is worth checking the specific venue or event listings for the most up-to-date pricing and availability before planning your evening.
