Susan Calman: Tall Tales

Susan Calman is bringing her new comedy show, Tall Tales, to the Theatre Royal in Brighton on 7th October 2026. This performance marks her return to live touring after a ten-year break. The show is built around stories she has gathered over the last decade, covering topics ranging from her experiences on cruises and driving tanks to her observations on aging and life with her cats. Given her background in television programmes like Grand Day Out, Cruising with Susan Calman, QI, House of Games, and her time on Strictly Come Dancing, the show draws on the various situations she has navigated during her time away from the stage.

The performance is scheduled for 19:30 at the Theatre Royal, located on New Road, Brighton (BN1 1SD). If you are planning to attend, the box office opens 90 minutes before the show starts, and you can collect tickets from the Will Call desk starting an hour before the curtain rises. Tickets are currently available through platforms like Ticketmaster, ATG Tickets, and TicketSwap, with standard prices sitting around £33.79, though it is worth checking these platforms directly as prices can fluctuate. For those organising outings for groups of 10 or more, there are specific booking channels available to manage those reservations.

Regarding the venue's policies, there are a few things to keep in mind. The theatre maintains a strict policy against taking photographs or using mobile phones during the performance, and outside food and drink are not permitted inside. The venue does offer accessibility features, including wheelchair access, audio description services, and subtitled performances for those who require them. There is some variation in the age guidance provided for the show; while one source suggests a minimum age of 14, another indicates a minimum of 4 years, with a clear prohibition on infants being held in arms. The theatre suggests a 'casual elegant' dress code for the evening.
