Tartan Tabletop: a Dungeons & Dragons Comedy

If you have ever spent an evening rolling dice or just enjoy a bit of improvised comedy, you might be interested in what is happening at the Rotunda Theatre this May. The group behind Tartan Tabletop: a Dungeons & Dragons Comedy is making their Brighton Fringe debut, bringing a show that blends the mechanics of the classic tabletop game with live performance. It is a format that relies on the unpredictability of the game, where four heroes navigate an adventure that changes based on the choices made on stage.

What makes this particular show stand out is the inclusion of a different guest performer each night, who takes on the role of 'Noblin the Goblin'. The core cast features Josh Aitken, Alex Bathe, Lauren McColgan, and Niall Curran. The show runs for 60 minutes and is designed to be accessible whether you are a seasoned D&D player or someone who has never touched a character sheet in their life. The production is scheduled for the 8th, 9th, and 10th of May 2026 at the Rotunda Theatre Brighton: Bubble.

Regarding the logistics, tickets are priced at £10. The recommended age for the show is 14 and up, though there is a 'Babes in arms' policy allowing children under 2 to attend for free if they sit on a guardian's lap. The venue itself is equipped with wheelchair access and accessible toilets, and they do allow assistance dogs. It is worth noting that the performance involves audience interaction and includes strong language, so keep that in mind when planning your visit.
