Larry Dean + Emmeline Downie

If you are looking for something to do on the evening of Tuesday, 16 June 2026, there is a work-in-progress comedy show taking place at the Caroline of Brunswick. Located at 39 Ditchling Road, Brighton, BN1 4SB, the venue is hosting Larry Dean and Emmeline Downie for a session where they will be testing out new material. Since this is a work-in-progress format, the evening focuses on the development of their comedy sets rather than a final, polished production. It is a straightforward way to see how comedians build their shows before they reach larger stages.

The lineup features two performers with established backgrounds in the industry. Larry Dean has been nominated for the Edinburgh Best Show Award three times—in 2015, 2018, and 2022—and has appeared on programmes such as Live at the Apollo, QI, Mock The Week, and The Royal Variety Performance 2024. Alongside him, Emmeline Downie brings her experience as a comedian, writer, and actor. She is known for co-creating the Edinburgh shows Manhunt and Manhunt 2: Big Mood, and her writing credits include projects for BBC Studios and A24. Her work has been recognised for its writing and performance style.

The show is scheduled to start at 19:30, though some sources indicate 20:30, so it is worth verifying the specific timing when booking. Tickets are priced at £9.00. Given the nature of the venue and the format of the evening, it is an opportunity to see both performers in a more intimate setting. If you are interested in attending, you can check the event details online to confirm ticket availability, as schedules can shift. It is a simple, low-key option for a Tuesday night in Brighton if you are interested in seeing new comedy material in development.
