Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote

If you have a soft spot for 80s television or just enjoy a bit of interactive chaos, there is something happening at Komedia on Wednesday, 21 October 2026, that might catch your interest. The venue is hosting a screening of a classic Murder, She Wrote episode, but it is not your typical quiet movie night. The event, titled Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote, turns the viewing experience into a participatory game. The show is led by superfan Tim Benzie, who guides the audience through the episode, often dressed as Jessica Fletcher herself. It is a format that has been running for a while, having previously been recognised by Time Out as a notable night out in London.

For this specific evening in Brighton, the chosen episode is 'Three Strikes, You're Out'. The plot follows Jessica Fletcher as she gets involved in the world of professional baseball after her nephew Johnny finds success, only for a murder to interrupt the game. The event is designed to be interactive, featuring a 'Cabot Cove' quiz, a sing-along session with new lyrics for the theme song, and various clips of guest stars. It is essentially a structured way to engage with the show alongside other fans, with prizes and games woven into the screening.

The event takes place in the basement of Komedia, located at 44-47 Gardner Street. Doors open at 7:00 PM, and the show itself starts at 8:00 PM. The space is set up with banquet-style tables and booths, which creates a fairly relaxed atmosphere for the evening. Tickets are priced at £14.00, and it is worth noting that the event is strictly for those aged 18 and over. Since the seating is unreserved, it is the kind of setup where you can grab a spot and settle in for the duration of the show. It is a straightforward, themed night out if you are looking for something a bit different to do on a Wednesday evening in the city.
