Sean Burke: Your Man

If you're already planning your calendar for late spring, you might want to circle Thursday, March 26, 2026. That's when the Irish internet comedian Sean Burke is bringing his debut stand-up show, Your Man, to Brighton. The gig is happening at the reliable Komedia on Gardner Street (44-47 Gardner Street, BN1 1UN).

Komedia is a cornerstone of the local scene, having been recognized as the 'Best Comedy Venue in the South & East' a record 18 times, so the setting is definitely proven. The show itself will be held in the more intimate Komedia Studio, which is known for its unreserved cabaret seating, offering a focused atmosphere. While the main venue capacity is around 400, the Studio setting keeps things tight for the performance.

Burke’s show, Your Man, is built around personal material, moving beyond typical internet sketches. He covers a range of topics, including the specifics of living with French people, the unexpected experience of having a pacemaker, and reflecting on his own level of internet fame. The style blends well-scripted gags with what are described as "silly voices." For those who track rising talent, Burke has already garnered significant attention; Joe Lycett, for instance, has publicly called him "one of the most consistently funny and inventive comedians working today," and even Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has offered praise. This context suggests he’s highly regarded by established figures in the industry.

For those interested in attending, the doors open at 7:30 PM, and the performance starts promptly at 8:00 PM. Tickets are reasonably priced, generally around £13.00. It’s important to note the age restriction: this is strictly an AGES 16+ event. Given the venue's reputation and the buzz around Burke's debut hour, it looks like a strong option for a mid-week comedy night in the city.
