The Treason Show - Spring Edition

The Treason Show is returning to Brighton for its spring edition on Saturday, 28 March 2026. The performance will take place at Wagner Hall, located on Regency Road, BN1 2RT. Doors open at 20:00, and the show is scheduled to conclude at 22:00. This production, led by creator Mark Brailsford, is currently in its 26th year of operation, maintaining a long-standing presence in the city’s cultural landscape. The format consists of topical sketches and parody songs that address current news, often drawing comparisons to established satirical programmes like Spitting Image or The Fast Show. The show’s longevity is a result of its focus on evolving news cycles, ensuring that the material remains relevant to the current political and social climate.

The content is aimed at an adult audience, with the organisers noting that the material is not for the faint-hearted. The show relies on political and social satire to comment on recent events, reflecting a style that has been recognised with nominations for UK Comedy Awards and BAFTAs. In 2022, the production received the award for Best Comedy Show in the South East of England. The writing and performance approach is intended to be direct, focusing on the intersection of news and comedy. By using a cabaret-style delivery, the performers aim to present their observations on the news in a way that is both critical and focused on the absurdity of current events.

Tickets for the event are currently priced at £20.00. This price is provided as a guide and may be subject to change depending on the booking date. For those planning to attend, the venue is situated in a central part of Brighton, making it accessible for regular attendees of local events. The show continues to operate as a consistent platform for satirical commentary that has been developed over more than two decades. By focusing on current affairs, the production provides a specific type of entertainment that has remained a fixture in the local area for many years. Those interested in attending can secure their places online, as the event is ticketed and typically draws an audience familiar with the show's history and its approach to topical humour.
