Scummy Mummies - Christmas Show

If you are looking for plans this December, Helen Thorn and Ellie Gibson are bringing their Scummy Mummies - Christmas Show back to Komedia Brighton on December 8, 2026. The duo is returning with their festive-themed comedy set, which they have titled 'Hot Mess'. It is a show that touches on a variety of topics, ranging from the menopause and mansplaining to the realities of dating on Tinder and navigating life with teenagers. The performance includes a mix of new songs, sketches, stand-up routines, and, as they have noted, some rather bright cat costumes.

For those interested in the specific content, the show is built around the theme 'Ho, Ho, Ho...it's the Scummy Mummies Christmas Show!'. Expect a blend of what they call 'scummy carols', yuletide sketches, festive stand-up, and stories about Santa. It is a production that leans into the comedic side of parenting and adult life, fitting the style that Thorn and Gibson have developed over their touring career.

Regarding the logistics for the day, there are two separate sessions scheduled at the venue, which is located at 44-47 Gardner Street, Brighton and Hove, BN1 1UN. The first session opens its doors at 18:00, with the show starting at 19:00. If that time does not suit your schedule, there is a second option later in the evening: doors open at 20:45 and the show begins at 21:30. Tickets are currently priced at £23.00, though it is worth noting that pricing can fluctuate daily depending on availability. Given the nature of the topics covered, the show is aimed at an adult audience.
