Laura Smyth: Born Aggy

Brighton’s comedy scene is set for a busy period this autumn as the Brighton Dome Comedy Festival returns to the city from 16 to 25 October 2026. Among the various performances scheduled during this window, comedian Laura Smyth is bringing her latest show, Born Aggy, to the Brighton Dome on 22 October. The venue, situated on Church Street, will host this specific performance as part of a larger tour that sees Smyth travelling across the UK between September and November. It is a chance to see a show that has been developed following her previous successful tour, Living My Best Life.

Laura Smyth, who received the Funny Women Award in 2019, has established a presence in the UK comedy circuit through regular appearances on television programmes such as QI, Would I Lie To You, 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and Live at The Apollo. Her background includes supporting established acts like Jack Whitehall, Michelle de Swarte, Alan Davies, and Jason Manford. In Born Aggy, Smyth explores her personal experiences with a focus on the realities of life, posing the question of what happens when one’s ambitions are realised but a sense of dissatisfaction persists. Her work has been discussed in various media outlets, including The Guardian and The London Evening Standard, where her approach to stand-up has been noted for its specific tone and delivery.

If you are considering attending the performance on 22 October, the doors at the Brighton Dome open at 18:45, and the show itself begins at 19:30. The event is suitable for those aged 14 and over. Tickets are currently listed at £24.50, although it is standard practice for these prices to be subject to change depending on availability and demand. You can purchase tickets directly through the Brighton Dome website or via Ticketmaster UK. Given that this is a one-off performance within the wider festival programme, it serves as a clear option for anyone interested in seeing a touring comedian in a central Brighton location.
