BBC R4: The Naked Week

Thu 2 Apr 2026

7:30 PM (Doors: 6:30 pm)

BBC R4: The Naked Week

BBC Radio 4’s new Friday night topical comedy series, The Naked Week is a fresh way of dressing the week’s news and parading it around for everyone to point and laugh at.

Hosted by one of the regular presenters of hit podcast No Such Thing as a Fish, Andrew Hunter Murray, the show strips away the flimsy covering and jeers at not only the big stories, but also at the way in which the news itself is packaged and presented.

From award-winning writers and a crack team of contemporary satirists – and recorded in front of our live audience – The Naked Week delivers a (consensual) topical news-nude straight to your ears.

The accessibility at Comic Boom Comedy Club was absolutely brilliant. I had emailed beforehand and your communication about accessibility was great. The staff at the event were also great. I really appreciate how easy it was in a wheelchair as not all venues are so accommodating.

Thanks very much for last night. Genuinely one of the nicest spaces I’ve been to, and the whole team was so helpful and kind. We all felt very valued and cared for. It’s an excellent space and crowd, and I’d love to come back any time!

I always enjoy comedy at the Komedia. The venue is perfect for a comedy club – low ceilings and intimate, but also space for a good sized audience.

Another fantastic evening at Komedia’s Comedy Club! … the best way to spend your Friday or Saturday night in Brighton.
