The End Of The World According To Jonathan Pie

It looks like Jonathan Pie is heading back to our neck of the woods next year. Tom Walker’s satirical news reporter character will be taking over the Brighton Dome Concert Hall for two nights, specifically Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th September 2026. The show, titled The End Of The World According To Jonathan Pie, was co-written with Andrew Doyle and functions as a sort of survival guide for the current global state of affairs. For those who have followed Pie’s viral clips over the years, this live performance follows that same vein of high-tension political commentary, though formatted for a full evening on stage.

The subject matter is quite broad, covering everything from the internal dynamics of Keir Starmer’s Labour government to the growth of Reform UK and the far right. It also looks further afield, examining the roles of Elon Musk and Donald Trump in the modern world. Beyond just the politicians, the show digs into the more existential stuff we’re all seeing in the headlines lately, like the climate crisis, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the general talk of a potential Third World War. It’s a lot of heavy ground to cover, but the premise is to find the humour in the absurdity of these overlapping crises.

In terms of the logistics, both shows are scheduled to start at 19:30, with the doors at the Brighton Dome opening at 18:45. Tickets are currently ranging from £22.50 to £32, and there is a £3.50 transaction fee applied to each order if you book through the venue’s website or over the phone. Because of the nature of the content and the language used, the show is restricted to those aged 14 and up, and anyone under that age must be accompanied by an adult. The venue is located on Church Street (BN1 1UE), and if you need to check anything specific regarding accessibility or seating, their box office is reachable at 01273 709709. It’s a straightforward setup for a mid-week night out in the city.
