Lachlan Werner: WonderTwunk

Lachlan Werner is bringing his acclaimed show, WonderTwunk, to Brighton next month. Mark your calendars for Friday, 6 March 2026, because this highly-rated ventriloquist and clown will be taking over the Komedia Studio on Gardner Street. The doors open at 9:00 PM, with the show starting promptly at 9:30 PM. If you are familiar with his debut, Voices Of Evil, this is the anticipated follow-up, promising a blend of ventriloquism, circus, and what critics have described as 'camp chaos'.

WonderTwunk is a 60-minute show that delves into sci-fi and secrets, centered around the character Jack Hammer, who is billed as 'the strongest boy in the world'. Werner is known for his precise ventriloquism, utilizing minimal lip movement alongside physical comedy and acrobatics. The show has already gathered significant praise, receiving four stars from major outlets like the Guardian and Telegraph, and five stars from Binge Fringe, which highlighted it as an outstanding display of queer talent and comedy. For those who like to plan ahead, the show is recommended for ages 16 and up, and seating in the Komedia Studio is unreserved. It’s worth noting that while the show was originally scheduled for the Brighton Dome last October, that date was cancelled, making this Komedia performance the one to catch.

If you are looking to make a full night of comedy, there is a useful COMBO DEAL available. By purchasing a ticket for WonderTwunk and a ticket for Siblings: Dreamweavers—which is on the same night at 7:30 PM—you can get both shows for a total of £25. This saves you £5 compared to buying them separately, offering a great way to experience two acclaimed shows back-to-back in the same venue.
