The Portrait Guy with Shazia Mirza

There’s been some chatter locally about Shazia Mirza performing stand-up here in Brighton next week. If you were hoping for a full solo show, it looks like the details are a bit different than what was initially rumored. The confirmed event happening on Thursday, February 5, 2026, isn't a typical stand-up gig, but a live podcast recording. It’s called The Portrait Guy with Shazia Mirza, where she is appearing as a guest artist, recognized for her work as a comedian, actress, and writer. The venue hosting this specific event is The Actors in Brighton (BN2 1RD).

If you're interested in catching the award-winning comedian and writer in this format, the show starts at 8:00 PM and is scheduled to run until 9:30 PM. Tickets are available and cost £10.84, which includes the booking fee. It’s worth noting that finding solid information about a solo stand-up performance by Shazia Mirza in Brighton for 2026 has been tricky. There was some initial confusion, as major platforms like Ticketmaster and even her own official tour page don't list a solo show here. In fact, the only other confirmed UK event for her around that time is the 'Ladies Of Laughter' show in Luton two days later.

This makes the confirmed ticket source for The Portrait Guy at The Actors the only reliable confirmation we have for her being in Brighton on the 5th. This specific event, confirmed to be held at the venue located in BN2 1RD, is currently reporting an availability of about 49 tickets. If you are a fan of Shazia Mirza and enjoy the podcast format, this is the specific event to look for. It offers a chance to see her participate in a live recording, which is a different experience than a typical comedy club set, especially since she isn't listed on the Komedia schedule for that period.
