Joy Unlocked: A Night Of Comedy for EmbraceAbility

If you're looking for a great night out in Brighton that also supports a fantastic cause, mark your calendar for Monday, February 23, 2026. The event is called Joy Unlocked: A Night Of Comedy for EmbraceAbility, and it’s happening right in the heart of the city at the Komedia Basement on Gardner Street. It’s a straightforward way to enjoy top-tier comedy while knowing the cost of your ticket is going straight to supporting vital work abroad.

What makes this show stand out is the stellar lineup they’ve managed to pull together. We’re talking about sets from three of the best names on the circuit right now: Jen Brister, Maisie Adam, and Suzi Ruffell, with the promise of a few special guests joining them too. It’s a strong bill for a Monday night, offering a chance to see some high-calibre comedy in Komedia’s intimate setting. The venue operates with unreserved cabaret seating, which always lends itself well to a relaxed, close-up comedy experience.

The entire evening is dedicated to raising funds for EmbraceAbility, a charity doing crucial work supporting disabled children and their families primarily in Cambodia and Malawi. Every ticket purchased directly contributes to essential projects, helping to fund things like accessible toilets, clean drinking water systems, and community programs focused on promoting dignity and inclusion within those communities. For those planning to attend, the doors open at 7:00 PM, and the show itself starts an hour later at 8:00 PM. While snacks are available at the venue, it’s important to note the event has an age restriction and is strictly for those aged 16 and over. Securing tickets now confirms your spot for a night of laughs and ensures that the funds raised can continue to support EmbraceAbility’s mission effectively.
