Peter Flanagan: Fresh Prince of Kildare

We have a solid comedy night coming up at the Komedia Studio soon, featuring an Irish talent who has been making waves. On Thursday, March 5, 2026, Peter Flanagan is bringing his debut tour show, Fresh Prince of Kildare, to Brighton. Flanagan is definitely one to watch; he’s been building a significant following online, boasting over 100,000 followers and millions of views, and this particular show had a sold-out, critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe. It’s part of a wider tour hitting the UK, Ireland, and Europe, so it’s a good chance to catch him in the intimate setting of the Studio space at Komedia, located right there on Gardner Street.

The show itself is described as an hour of personal and funny material. Peter uses the set to reflect on his upbringing in a "deeply conservative" home in Kildare and contrasts that experience with his later move to the "melting pot" of East London. He also covers the year that followed, which apparently involved a mix of bad dates, alcohol, and meditation—a relatable combination for many of us. If you’re looking for context on the quality, critics have been positive. The Times highlighted the show as 'A witty blend of personal stories and political humour,' calling him 'a rising star,' and Chortle specifically praised the quality of the storytelling.

If you plan on going, the event takes place at the Komedia Studio, 44-47 Gardner Street. The show starts at 8:00 PM, with doors opening half an hour earlier at 7:30 PM. Seating is unreserved, so if you want a specific spot, getting there when doors open might be wise. Given the themes and content, it’s strictly for ages 16+. Tickets are reasonably priced, generally running around £15.00 for a standard entry. It sounds like a strong night of stand-up from a comedian who has clearly honed his material on the festival circuit before taking it on the road.
