Laura Belbin: Unhinged

Laura Belbin is bringing her new show, Unhinged, to the Komedia basement on Thursday, 4 June 2026. Many people recognise her from her 'Knee Deep In Life' platform, where she’s built a reputation for being blunt about the less glamorous parts of daily life. This performance in Brighton follows her national tour and leans into that same honest style, focusing on the gap between the polished versions of ourselves we see online and how things actually look when the filters are off. It’s a show that seems to aim for a sense of unity by just being truthful about the messier side of things.

The material itself centres on the realities of navigating life as a single woman in her 40s, particularly the often-bizarre world of online dating. It’s described as a raw take on empowerment and finding common ground through shared experiences. Instead of standard stand-up tropes, Belbin tends to say the things that most people think but usually keep to themselves, making it a bit of a collective exhale for anyone tired of the "perfect life" narrative. Because of the nature of the material and the language used, it’s strictly an 18+ event, which fits the late-night basement setting of the venue.

If you’re planning to head down to 44-47 Gardner Street, the doors open at 19:00, with the show starting at 20:00. It’s worth noting that the Komedia Basement uses unreserved seating, so getting there when doors open is usually the best bet if you have a preference for where you sit. Tickets are generally priced around £23.00, though some platforms have them listed at £25.90. There are also VIP Meet & Greet packages available for those who want a bit more than just the standard seat, and some early access was offered to American Express members.

This 2026 tour date is part of a larger run across the UK, including stops in places like Sheffield, but the Brighton show has that specific intimate feel that the basement venue provides. It’s a straightforward comedy night designed for those who appreciate a more direct, uncensored approach to storytelling. Whether you’ve followed her content for years or are just looking for a night out that doesn't take itself too seriously, the show offers a perspective on middle age and independence that feels quite grounded in the current moment.
