Vittorio Angelone: you can’t Say Nothing any more

If you're looking ahead to next year's comedy calendar, mark down Saturday, February 14, 2026. That's when Vittorio Angelone brings his latest stand-up show, you can’t Say Nothing any more, to the Corn Exchange at the Brighton Dome. Angelone has been one of the fastest-rising names in comedy lately, known not just for his stand-up clips but also for his popular podcasts like 'Mike & Vittorio’s Guide to Parenting' and 'Fin vs The Internet'. This show is part of his 2026 tour across the UK and Ireland, following sold-out runs in previous years. The show is scheduled to start at 19:30, with doors opening forty-five minutes earlier at 18:45, giving you plenty of time to settle in before the performance begins.

This isn't just light observational humour; the show has been described as a masterclass in intellectual comedy that aims to be provocative, reflective, and genuinely funny all at once. Angelone tackles some weighty and controversial subjects, including the complexities of Northern Ireland (mentioning 'The Troubles' and Gerry Adams), discussions around autismo, and even lighter topics like TV producers, comedy critics, and his regrets about performing in Dubai. A central theme of you can’t Say Nothing any more is exploring the responsibility comedians might have to speak out on major issues like 'Free Palestine' or climate change. Interestingly, some performances have featured the Irish band CÚIG opening and closing the show, adding an extra layer to the evening.

Given the nature of the material, the show is generally aimed at an adult audience. While the Brighton Dome policy states that under 14s must be accompanied, other venues hosting this specific show have enforced a strict 16+ age restriction, which is worth keeping in mind. If you plan to go, tickets start from £24, plus a £3.50 booking fee per order (unless you are a Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival member). With Angelone’s recent popularity, tickets are already showing limited availability, so if you are interested in catching this highly discussed show—which is supported by Mayo Wynne Baxter as part of the Dome’s comedy programming—it’s probably best to secure your spot sooner rather than later.
