JOY CONCERTS. PRESENT:

Hotpipe Hillbillies

*SECOND EVENT DATE ADDED DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND*

Hotpipe Hillbillies is a documentary about community, resilience, and finding joy in the most unlikely of places. Against the backdrop of Shoreham’s industrial shoreline, a diverse crew of surfers gather at an industrial outflow pipe to ride waves that are often messy, fickle, and short-lived.

This ain’t Cornwall. It sure ain’t California. But for this crew, it’s home. Through humour, grit, and an irrepressible love of surfing, they reveal what it means to find belonging in the water – and why passion, not perfection, is what keeps us paddling out.


THIS EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE KOMEDIA BASEMENT

UNRESERVED SEATING 

AGES 9+ (UNDER 16s MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT)

What people are saying...

I love the venue and am grateful to you for having me back!

Staff were all very friendly and welcoming… the sound and lighting were brilliant and a great evening was had by all attending.

Great intimate live music venue. Not your usual gig beers, good selection of Lager, Cider and Ale.

I wanted to say a massive thank you for hosting my son and I in the Studio. I was so impressed by the kindness, efficiency, and professionalism of all the team at Komedia. Everything was perfect – the sound, the room, and all of the staff.

It was honestly the best concert experience I’ve had in a long time! Since being chronically ill, I’ve never felt completely welcome at venues. […] Komedia made me feel completely comfortable and confident in myself during the whole show! […] Although I traveled from London, I will most definitely be returning when I can, choosing it over London venues!

Lovely, intimate venue. Great sound system. Perfect for small concerts.

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.

Cracking little venue, intimate, great acoustics, friendly staff, middle of town, nice beer selection, fair prices.What more could you want?

Great place to see bands. Not too big . Not too small. Excellent views plus TV screens in all areas. Disabled parking in the street behind. Good eateries locally after gig.

Komedia continues to have club nights that suit all ages. It is a brighton institution that should be revered.
