Lidl Class

If you are looking for something a bit different during this year's Brighton Fringe, there is a comedy show called Lidl Class that caught my eye. It is running from May 27th to May 29th, 2026, and it is being hosted at Comedy at the Caxton. It is always interesting to see what kind of acts pop up during the Fringe, and this one seems to focus on a very specific, relatable kind of storytelling.

The show features a comedian from Canada who uses her own experiences to frame the performance. She talks about navigating life on a tight budget, which is something many of us can probably relate to, while also sharing her perspective on her own nightmares and her experiences as a neurodivergent person. It sounds like a mix of wit and personal anecdotes rather than just standard stand-up routines. The way it is described suggests it is a fairly intimate look at her daily life, using humour to process some of the more chaotic parts of living on a budget.

Tickets for the show start at £7, which makes it quite accessible if you are trying to balance your own social calendar with your finances during the festival season. Since it is part of the wider Brighton Fringe programme, it fits well into a night out if you are already planning to be in the area. It is the kind of show that relies on the performer's charm and observational skills, so if you enjoy comedy that feels a bit more grounded and personal, this might be worth checking out while it is on at the Caxton.
