The Secret Comedy Club Open Mic AKA See You Next Tuesday

The Secret Comedy Club Open Mic, also known as See You Next Tuesday, is taking place at Artista on 16 June 2026. As Brighton’s longest-running and most popular comedy open mic night, it has established itself as a key spot on the South Coast for testing out new material. The club has been voted 'Best Fringe Venue' in the Audience Choice Awards, and it operates as a space that welcomes a mix of professional, semi-professional, and amateur comedians. It is not uncommon to see familiar faces from television popping in to try out fresh jokes, as the club is known for being a small, intimate venue that is well-regarded by both the audience and the performers.

The format of the night is designed to be fast and dynamic. Each session features up to 15 comedians, with each performer getting a five-minute slot to work through their new material. The club describes the experience as "hilarious or painful, but never mediocre," which sets the tone for the evening. To keep the focus on the stage, they maintain a strict 'No Heckling' policy, ensuring the environment stays positive for everyone performing. It is a space that prioritises the craft of comedy, and the club describes itself as the most loved small comedy club in Brighton by the public and comedians alike.

If you are planning to perform, keep in mind that this is not a walk-in event; you need to book your spot in advance. For those who want to capture their set, the club offers audio and video recording services for an additional fee of £5. The event is strictly for those aged 18 and over. Doors generally open around 19:00 or 20:00, and the show typically wraps up by 22:30. If you are performing, it is recommended to arrive by 20:00 to secure your place. Tickets are priced at £5.50, and you can buy them in advance online or at the door, provided they have not sold out. The venue is located at 42 Brighton Square, Brighton, BN1 4HD.
