Josh Thomas: Jiggle Jiggle

Josh Thomas is bringing his latest stand-up show, Jiggle Jiggle, to the Brighton Dome on 6 December 2026. Many of us know him from his television work, particularly Please Like Me and Everything’s Gonna Be Okay, which often explored complex personal and social themes. After two decades in comedy, he is taking a different approach with this tour. He has described the show as being intentionally lighthearted, focusing on the idea that he simply wants to have fun this year, moving away from the weightier subjects that defined his earlier projects.

The show is set to take place in the Studio Theatre at the Brighton Dome, located on Church Street. The performance is scheduled for 19:30 on that Sunday evening. If you are planning to attend, tickets are priced at £27.00. There is a £3.50 booking fee per order for those booking online or by phone, though this fee does not apply to Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival members. It is worth noting the venue's policy regarding age: while there is no strict minimum age listed for this specific performance, the venue does not allow anyone under 14 to be unaccompanied. Given that other stops on his international tour have suggested a 15+ age rating due to adult themes and coarse language, it is a point to keep in mind when planning your visit.

The shift in tone for Jiggle Jiggle is quite distinct from his previous work. Where he once tackled significant social issues, this hour of comedy is framed as being "dumb, happy, and in no way important." It is a departure from the more introspective style that earned him recognition in the past, aiming instead for a more straightforward, silly experience. For those familiar with his career, this show offers a chance to see him in a different light, focusing on the comedic side of his performance style rather than the narrative-heavy approach of his television series.
