Percy Nyx: Prince Of Dreams

If you are looking for something a bit different to do in Brighton this May, Percy Nyx: Prince Of Dreams is coming to Komedia. It is a theatrical cabaret show created by Lex Pickett, who is known for their work in performance art. The show is built around the character of Percy Nyx, a drag prince who acts as a guide through the subconscious mind of a character named Alex. The narrative explores themes of identity, gender, and trauma, moving between childhood memories and the realities of adulthood.

The performance itself is a mix of different styles. You can expect a combination of surreal storytelling, live vocals, and drag performance. It uses the structure of twisted fairy tales to frame these heavier topics, aiming to balance moments of reflection with lighter, more humorous segments. It is the kind of show that leans into experimental theatre, so it might appeal to those who enjoy cabaret with a narrative focus rather than just a standard variety act.

Regarding the logistics, the show is taking place at Komedia, located at 44-47 Gardner Street. There are two dates scheduled: Saturday, 2 May 2026, at 17:30, and Sunday, 3 May 2026, at 20:30. Tickets are available for purchase, with prices currently listed at £10.00 for concessions and £12.00 for standard tickets, though it is worth noting that these prices can fluctuate. Given the themes of identity and the nature of the cabaret format, the show is generally aimed at an adult or young adult audience interested in LGBTQIA+ culture and experimental performance.
