Mike Bubbins: Ideasman

If you have been keeping an eye on the comedy circuit lately, you might have noticed that Mike Bubbins is heading out on a new UK tour. He is bringing his latest stand-up show, titled 'Ideasman', to the Brighton Dome on Thursday, 22 October 2026. The show is scheduled to start at 19:30, marking one of the stops on a tour that runs across the UK and Ireland from September 2026 through to April 2027.

For those familiar with his recent work, this tour follows the release of his sitcom 'Mammoth', which gained some traction as a debut on BBC2, and his ongoing involvement with the 'The Socially Distant Sports Bar' podcast. Bubbins has a background that is a bit different from the typical comedian, having spent time as a professional rugby player and a PE teacher, alongside his work in entertainment. He has also appeared on shows like 'House of Games' and 'Celebrity Mastermind'. In 'Ideasman', he explores his own perspective on being an 'ideas man' rather than an administrator, sharing observational stories that reflect his specific style of humour.

This tour is a significant undertaking for him, with dates scheduled in major venues like The London Palladium on 8 October and a stop in Dublin in February 2027. If you are planning to attend the Brighton date, tickets are available through standard platforms like Ticketmaster and Live Nation. It is worth noting that the tour schedule is quite extensive, covering a wide range of locations over several months, so the Brighton Dome performance is just one of many opportunities to see the show live.
