Rosie Jones + Dane Buckley

If you are looking for a plan in Brighton this summer, there is a comedy work-in-progress show coming up at the Caroline of Brunswick on July 16, 2026. Rosie Jones and Dane Buckley are teaming up for this session, which is essentially a chance to see them road-testing new material before they head off to the Fringe. It is a straightforward setup: two comedians trying out fresh jokes in an intimate venue, starting at 19:30.

Rosie Jones is a familiar face if you watch much British comedy, having appeared on shows like Taskmaster UK, Live At The Apollo, and 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown. She is also known for her work on Out of Order. Sharing the stage is Dane Buckley, who has been building a reputation on the circuit recently. He is a finalist from both the 2024 BBC New Comedy Awards and the 2024 British Comedian of the Year. You might have caught him on BBC Three, BBC One, or Comedy Central, or perhaps heard him on his podcast, Welcome To Hell. He is often noted for his background as an Irish, Indian, and gay comedian, and he has previously supported both Tom Allen and Rosie Jones on their respective tours.

For those interested in the logistics, the standard ticket price is currently listed at £11.00, though it is always worth keeping in mind that prices can be subject to change. Since this is a work-in-progress show, the atmosphere tends to be a bit more relaxed than a polished, final-tour performance, as the comedians are actively refining their sets. It is a good opportunity to see how the material is shaping up before it hits the larger festival stages. The Caroline of Brunswick is a regular spot for this kind of comedy, so it should be a familiar environment if you have been to shows there before.
