Rob Newman: 21st Century Survival Guide

If you have been looking for something a bit different to do on a Sunday evening, Rob Newman is bringing his show, 21st Century Survival Guide, to the Komedia Basement in Brighton on January 24, 2027. It is a comedy performance that follows the release of his novel, INTELLIGENCE, and focuses on how we might navigate some of the more chaotic aspects of modern life. Newman uses the show to look at topics like the impact of AI on our water supply, the influence of tech billionaires on global politics, and the ongoing challenges posed by things like oil shocks and chatbots. Rather than just listing problems, he approaches these subjects by examining what history can tell us about how powerful elites behave, using comedy as the lens to break it all down.

The show is scheduled to start at 19:00, with doors opening an hour earlier at 18:00. The venue is located at 44-47 Gardner Street, and it is worth noting that the seating format is unreserved cabaret style, so it is usually a good idea to arrive in time to get settled. The event is open to anyone aged 16 and over. Regarding the cost, tickets are currently listed at £20.00 for standard entry, with a concession price of £15.00 available. Keep in mind that these prices can fluctuate daily, so it is worth checking the current status if you are planning to book.

It is an interesting premise for a Sunday night out, especially if you are interested in a comedic take on current affairs and the way technology is reshaping society. Since the show is held at the Komedia, it fits into the usual rhythm of Brighton’s local cultural scene without being overly formal. Whether you are a fan of Newman’s previous work or just looking for a show that engages with the current state of the world, this performance offers a specific perspective on the 21st century that might be worth considering.
