We Need The Eggs

If you are looking for something to do in Brighton towards the end of May, there is a stand-up comedy show called We Need The Eggs taking place at The Maris & Otter. It is part of the Brighton Fringe, and it features a lineup of new comedians who are described as being both needy and inexpensive. The show is scheduled for the 23rd and 24th of May 2026.

The group behind the production is called Just The Facts. The lineup includes Ben Philipsborn, Freya Hook, Katy Barber, Jo Walters, Piers Campbell, Sam Hainsworth, and Will Snape, along with some special guests. Based on the information provided, the material covers a fairly eclectic mix of topics, ranging from caravans, yoghurt, and spreadsheets to karate, arson, tin mining, and turbot. It is a free event, which makes it a straightforward option if you are already planning to be out and about in the city during that weekend.

Regarding the logistics, the recommended age for the show is 16+, and they do not allow children under the age of two. It is a fairly specific setup, so if you enjoy seeing new talent trying out material on a variety of odd subjects, this might be worth noting down in your calendar. Since it is happening at The Maris & Otter, it fits into the usual circuit of venues you might already be familiar with if you frequent the local comedy scene.
