Mark Simmons: Jest To Impress

Mark Simmons is bringing his latest show, 'Jest To Impress', to the Brighton Dome on Thursday, 25 June 2026. The performance is scheduled to begin at 19:30 at the venue located on Church Street, Brighton, BN1 1UE. This event forms part of his 2026 tour, following a series of performances in his previous tour. The show is structured around a sequence of one-liners, which Simmons combines with spontaneous jokes derived from audience suggestions. Throughout the hour-long set, the material focuses on his specific writing style and stage persona. Simmons has previously appeared on programmes such as Mock The Week, BT Sport, and ITV, and he also hosts the podcast 'Jokes With Mark Simmons'.

His background in comedy includes being a finalist in the 2009 'So You Think You're Funny' competition and the runner-up for the 'Leicester Mercury Comedian Of The Year' in 2013. The style of the show is often noted for its focus on wordplay and puns, which may be familiar to those who follow his work or similar comedic approaches. The Brighton Dome, where the event is taking place, is situated in the centre of the city, positioned near the Royal Pavilion and the Brighton Museum, making it a central location for those attending from around the area.

Regarding the practical details for the evening, tickets are currently listed at a guide price of £22.00 for standard entry. There is an additional booking fee of £3.50 per order for tickets purchased online or by phone, although this fee is not applied to members of the Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival. As these prices are subject to daily changes, it is worth checking the current status before booking. For those planning to attend with younger guests, the venue policy specifies that anyone under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. The show is designed to accommodate a general audience, and the venue remains a standard choice for local cultural events in the heart of Brighton.
