Phil Ellis: Bath Mat

Phil Ellis is bringing his latest stand-up show, 'Bath Mat', to Brighton this autumn. If you have been following his recent work, you might recognise him from his appearance on 'Taskmaster' or his performances at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe, where he received recognition for his comedy. This show marks his first full national tour since his previous projects, 'Soppy Stern' and 'Funz and Gamez', and it is currently making its way across the country. It is a shift in pace for him, focusing on a new set of material that he has been developing over the last year.

The Brighton date is set for Tuesday, 20 October 2026. He will be performing at Komedia, located at 44-47 Gardner Street, Brighton and Hove. This specific performance has been added as an extra date to his tour schedule, providing another opportunity for local audiences to catch the show. Komedia has been a regular spot for comedy in the city, and this event fits into their autumn programme. It is a chance to see his current material in a local setting, as he continues to refine the style that has defined his recent comedy career.

'Bath Mat' is described as a blend of stand-up comedy that leans into his signature approach—a mix of deep humour and the kind of silliness he has become known for over the years. Since this is part of a wider tour, it follows the same structure he has been presenting elsewhere. The show explores themes he has been working on since his success at the Edinburgh Fringe, balancing his established comedic voice with new observations. Whether you are familiar with his past shows or just looking for something to do on a Tuesday night in October, the show at Komedia offers a look at his latest work in a familiar venue. It is a straightforward opportunity to see a comedian who has been active on the circuit for some time now, performing in a space that is well-suited for stand-up.
