Mike Wozniak: The Bench

Mike Wozniak is bringing his latest stand-up show, The Bench, to the Theatre Royal Brighton on Sunday, 7 June 2026. You might recognise him from his time on Taskmaster or his role in Man Down, and he’s also been a regular fixture on the Three Bean Salad podcast and Junior Taskmaster. This performance is part of his largest UK tour so far, which is scheduled to run from January all the way through to November 2026. This Brighton date is one of many stops on a tour that sees him performing across the country, continuing the work he’s been doing since his earlier shows like 'Take the Hit'.

The show itself is built around a story about a bench located right here in Brighton. Despite the specific title, the show's notes clarify that you don't need to be a park furniture enthusiast or have any strong opinions on benches to follow the story. It’s a narrative-driven stand-up piece that leans into his particular style of comedy. The event is taking place at the Theatre Royal on New Road, a venue most of us are familiar with. The evening is expected to last about 110 minutes in total, which includes an interval, so there’s a break scheduled halfway through the performance.

Regarding the logistics, doors are set to open at 19:00, with the show starting at 19:30. Tickets are priced at £27.15 and are available on platforms like ATG and See Tickets. The show is recommended for those aged 14 and over, which is a common age rating for this type of comedy tour. Since the tour is quite extensive, this June date is part of a long run of shows, but the local connection of the story provides some specific context for the Brighton audience. It’s a straightforward Sunday evening event in June, featuring a seasoned performer in a local setting.
