Scott Manley Hadley: Bald Personality Disorder

If you are looking for something a bit different to do in Brighton this weekend, Scott Manley Hadley is bringing his show, Bald Personality Disorder, to the Comedy at the Caxton venue. It is part of the Brighton Fringe, and he has a final performance scheduled for May 30th at 15:30. Scott, who also goes by the name SOLID BALD, is a poet turned comedian and was a semi-finalist in the 2025 West End New Act of the Year. His blog, TriumphOfTheNow.com, is where he often shares his writing, but this show is a shift into live performance.

The show itself is described as a work-in-progress, running for about 60 minutes. It is quite a mix of formats; you can expect a blend of jokes, original music, poetry, and costumes. He also includes an interactive baldness quiz and, depending on the day, there might even be some live shaving involved. The content touches on a wide range of personal topics, including body image, mental health, gender, the realities of millennial life, parenting, financial struggles, and even pet ownership. It is worth noting that the show deals with some sensitive themes, such as references to drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness, and suicide or self-harm, and it involves audience interaction and strong language.

Regarding the logistics, the event is strictly for those aged 18 and over, though there is a 'Babes in Arms' policy that allows children under two to attend for free if they sit on a guardian's lap. The pricing is set up as 'Pay What You Want' with a standard price of £6. It is a straightforward setup for anyone interested in seeing a blend of alternative comedy and performance art in a local setting.
