Brighton’s premier live entertainment venue presents one of the largest, most diverse arts and entertainment programmes in the UK.

With over 700 performances of comedy, music, cabaret and children’s theatre, the programme features the very best of international and national performers and includes Komedia’s all conquering resident comedy shows: Komedia Comedy ClubComic Boom and Down the Hatch.

Whilst winning the Chortle Comedy Award for Best Venue in the South a record 18 times, Komedia Brighton is also an important music venue in the city. A regular feature of The Great Escape, Komedia aims to be at the forefront of new music.

Komedia Productions is Komedia’s charitable arm which supports the regular kids programme at Komedia, Sundae Club, and run creative workshop programmes for young people; working with local schools and communities to deliver creative events and collaborate with venues across the city to produce special seasons of events for children & families plus much more. For more information about Komedia Productions and Komedia Kids, click here.

Komedia incorporates two exciting, vibrant performance spaces with flexible set-ups and a kitchen serving freshly prepared food at most seated shows. And with Picturehouse operating the Duke’s at Komedia Cinema upstairs, Komedia can justifiably claim to be at the cultural, as well as geographical heart of Brighton.

What people are saying...

Excellent venue… have never laughed so much! Nice bar food as well!

Great experience. Staff were friendly and helpful , venue excellent.

Thanks very much to all of you for hosting this – it was a great night!

It was my first time there, and definitely not the last…. the members of staff were helpful and welcoming…the venue was very nice.

Fantastic comedy venue, very accommodating to my disability requirements. Never seen a bad comedy show there yet … really good up and coming acts.

What a superb venue. I have been several times. Always a warm welcome and a safe space to enjoy the artists that are more “left field” than other more mainstream venues.

Great time, bar staff were amazing. First time here and will definitely be back. Have been to many comedy clubs in Brighton and this has been the best so far!

Amazing experience with the Komedia staff. They have gone above and beyond to cater for my disabilities at a show on June 5th, making sure I am seated correctly and can easily access the area. Very rare experience nowadays. Thank you again for all your help!

Just the best place if you like comedy. The food is great, the show room cozy and personable. Excellent atmosphere every time. An amazing place to watch a live show. Highly recommended!

Always something interesting happening at Komedia. Probably the venue I find myself at most frequently due to the eclectic mix of acts, comedy, music, club nights, cabaret and random silliness! Feels like the heart of Brighton!

I had not been to this venue before and I have to say that I was very impressed… All the staff I encountered were friendly, helpful and cheerful. I will certainly return!!

This venue’s accessibility information on their website is outstanding. As an autistic wheelchair user it was so amazing to be able to see the layout/3D view of the whole venue… If more venues followed Komedia’s example the world would be a much better place!
