The Em Show: Tales From a Little Laughing Lesbian

Comedian Em Stroud is bringing her acclaimed one-woman show, The Em Show: Tales From a Little Laughing Lesbian, to Brighton next month. Stroud, who is also known as the 'Comic Coach', has crafted a performance that moves beyond traditional stand-up, blending an electrifying mix of stand-up, improvisation, and clowning. This particular show is significant as it marks the final installment of a trilogy inspired by her own life experiences.

The material dives into some pretty personal territory, covering everything from therapy sessions and marriage to the experience of having a baby and, perhaps unexpectedly, motorcycles. The show is described as being uplifting, bold, and wildly funny, promising plenty of laughter, singing, and the use of comic props throughout the performance. It sounds like a high-energy, honest, and theatrical look at the complexities of modern life through Stroud’s unique lens.

If you are planning to catch it, the event is scheduled for Thursday, February 19, 2026, at the Komedia Studio, located at 44-47 Gardner Street. Doors are set to open at 7:30 PM, with the show itself kicking off at 8:00 PM. Tickets are reasonably priced, with standard entry at £15.00 and concessions available for £13.00. It is worth noting that while some secondary sources suggest a lower age limit, the venue’s official restriction for the Komedia Studio is strictly 18+, so keep that in mind when making your booking.
