Special Guest, Cally Beaton and MC Stephen Grant

The Brighton Open Air Theatre, situated within the green space of Dyke Road Park, has confirmed the details for its Summer Comedy Festival 2026. This year represents the seventh season that the venue has organised this series of outdoor performances, maintaining its tradition of hosting comedy in an open-air environment. For those planning their calendar, the date of Sunday, 7 June 2026, is dedicated to a comedy session featuring Cally Beaton and MC Stephen Grant.

The schedule for this particular Sunday is split into two distinct sessions to accommodate different audiences. The day begins with a family-friendly session at 12:30, followed by the main performance, which is set to start at 15:30. The main show is programmed to last for one hour and 45 minutes. Because the venue is located in Dyke Road Park, the experience is tied to the outdoor setting, which has been a consistent feature of the festival since it first started seven years ago.

Cally Beaton serves as the main feature for this afternoon, with Stephen Grant acting as the MC to guide the session. This event is one of several comedy-focused afternoons included in the wider festival programme for the 2026 season. If you are considering attending, the theatre’s official website provides information regarding ticket pricing, age requirements, and the full list of performances scheduled throughout the summer. The festival continues to use the open-air theatre as its primary stage, offering a specific format for comedy in Brighton. This event is part of the ongoing effort to provide a variety of live performances throughout the warmer months, and it follows the established operational procedures of the theatre for its summer season.
