Scott Bennett: Stuff

Scott Bennett, a comedian often cited by the Evening Standard as “Live Comedy’s best kept secret,” is bringing his show, Stuff, to Brighton this year. Bennett has a solid background in comedy writing, having crafted material for high-profile acts like Chris Ramsey and Jason Manford. If you follow BBC Radio 4, you might recognize him from regular appearances on shows like The News Quiz and The Now Show, or perhaps from his debut on BBC Two’s Live at the Apollo. His work has also received recognition on the festival circuit, earning him 'Best Show' nominations at the Leicester Comedy Festival in both 2019 and 2020.

The show itself, Stuff, explores a pretty relatable modern conflict: Bennett’s desperate attempt to declutter his life and get rid of possessions, set against the backdrop of society's attachment to things versus the environmental crisis. It’s worth noting that this material was previously listed as a Work In Progress (WIP) at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2024. The performance is aimed at an adult audience, carrying a 16+ age restriction.

For those planning to catch the show, there are actually two distinct opportunities in Brighton this year, so it’s important to check the dates and venues. The primary date is scheduled for Thursday, March 19, 2026, taking place at the Brighton Dome Corn Exchange. Doors open at 6:45 PM for a 7:30 PM start. If that date doesn't fit your calendar, Bennett is also listed for a later performance on Sunday, November 22, 2026, this time at The Forge Comedy Club within Ironworks Studios. Tickets are available to book online, with the standard price generally listed at £22.00, although some sources indicate that guide prices are still TBC.
