Sam Campbell: Kid Giblet

If you’re already planning your cultural calendar for next autumn, make sure to circle the weekend of October 24th, 2026. That’s when the Brighton Dome Comedy Festival will be wrapping up, and one of the biggest names stopping by is the Australian comedian Sam Campbell with his show, Kid Giblet.

Sam has had a massive couple of years, establishing himself as a surrealist genius. He won the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2022 and, more recently, became the champion of Taskmaster Series 16 in 2023. Beyond his stand-up, you might recognize him from appearances on shows like QI, Would I Lie to You?, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and the sitcoms Fisk and Bloods. He’s also co-host of the podcast Lucy & Sam’s Perfect Brains and has a new Channel 4 series, Make That Movie!, scheduled for release in 2026. This Brighton date is part of his wider 2026 UK and Ireland tour.

Campbell is bringing Kid Giblet to the Brighton Dome Concert Hall (Church Street, BN1 1UE) on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The show is scheduled to start at 8:00 pm, with doors opening at 7:15 pm. The event is part of the larger Brighton Dome Comedy Festival, which runs from October 16th to the 25th. Campbell’s own description of the show captures his unique style, noting that he’s “definitely not sure what is going on,” but that live comedy is great because people gather in a spectacular setting instead of looking at a “wicked phone screen in some horrible damp grey corner.”

For those looking to attend, the age guidance for the show is 16+. Standard tickets are generally priced around £25.00, though prices can range up to £32.75, with concessions also available. It’s worth noting that a £3.50 charge per order applies for online and phone bookings. If you are keen on seeing him at the Dome, sources are already indicating that there are “LAST FEW” tickets remaining for the Brighton date, so booking sooner rather than later seems advisable.
