A sketch duo performance featuring Sam and Gaz, where Sam attempts to perform a two-person act solo as part of the Brighton Fringe.
If you are planning your Brighton Fringe schedule for May, there is a sketch comedy show called Sam and _____ that has caught my eye. It is happening at Comedy at the Caxton, and the premise is fairly straightforward: it is a two-person sketch act featuring Sam and Gaz, but the twist is that Gaz does not actually show up. This leaves Sam to attempt a one-person version of a show that was clearly designed for two people. It sounds like the kind of chaotic, self-aware comedy that works well in the intimate setting of the Caxton.

The performer behind this is Sam Walls, who you might recognise if you have followed the work of the comedy group Bad Clowns in previous years. The show is scheduled for two dates: 9 May 2026 and 10 May 2026, with both performances starting at 16:45. It is worth noting that the show is billed as a 'Pay What You Want' (PWYW) event, with prices starting from £5, which makes it an accessible option if you are trying to fit a few different shows into your weekend.
Regarding the logistics, the age guidance is 12+, though they do have a specific policy regarding 'Babes in Arms', meaning children under two are not permitted. The show also involves audience interaction, so if you prefer to sit back and remain anonymous, that is something to keep in mind before choosing your seat. It is a simple setup—one performer trying to manage a two-person act—but it should be interesting to see how the dynamic plays out in practice.
