Secrets of The Simpsons - An Evening with Mike Reiss

If you have ever spent a lazy Sunday afternoon watching The Simpsons and wondered how some of those jokes actually made it onto the screen, you might be interested in an upcoming event at Komedia. On August 6, 2026, Mike Reiss is bringing his show, Secrets of The Simpsons - An Evening with Mike Reiss, to Brighton. Reiss is a comedy producer who has spent years writing for the show, and he is currently touring the UK, with stops in cities like London, Stockport, and Birmingham before arriving here.

The show itself is structured as a two-hour presentation where Reiss shares behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the production of the series. It is not just a lecture, though; the format includes an interval and a dedicated session for audience questions. It is a chance to hear directly from someone who has worked on the scripts for countless episodes, as well as other American television shows and films. Given his background, the evening is aimed at anyone who follows the series or has an interest in the mechanics of television comedy production.

For those planning to attend, the event takes place at Komedia, located at 44-47 Gardner Street, and is scheduled to start at 19:30. Tickets are currently priced at 20.00 pounds, though it is worth keeping in mind that this is a guide price and can fluctuate. It is a straightforward setup: a mix of anecdotes, industry secrets, and a Q&A session that offers a look at the creative process behind one of the most well-known animated series in television history.
