The Universe Speaks

If you have been keeping an eye on the Brighton Fringe schedule, you might have noticed that Just Improv is returning with their long-form comedy show, The Universe Speaks. The group, who have been performing since 2022, are setting up at Pink Moon for two dates: the 30th and 31st of May 2026. The show runs for 60 minutes, starting at 14:00 each day.

The premise centres on the themes of superstition, belief, and destiny. It is a long-form improvised piece where the audience helps guide the characters through life-changing moments. The cast for these performances includes Eliza McHugh, Emma Hinnells, Kat Cooper, Matthew Kemp, Sofia Castello, Tali Simmons, and Vidy Reddy. Because the show relies on improvisation, there is an element of audience interaction involved, so it is worth keeping that in mind if you prefer to stay in the background during a performance.

Regarding the practical side of things, tickets are priced at £10 for standard entry, with a concession rate of £8 available. The show is recommended for those aged 12 and over. If you are attending with a very young child, there is a 'Babes in Arms' policy in place, meaning children under the age of two can enter for free provided they sit on a guardian's lap. The venue, Pink Moon, is equipped with accessible toilets and allows assistance dogs, so it should be straightforward if you have specific access requirements. It is a focused hour of comedy that leans into the idea that the universe speaks, regardless of whether we are paying attention or not.
