Jill Edwards Comedy Workshops at Komedia Brighton

Jill Edwards Comedy Workshops have been established since 1994. Jill moved to Brighton and created the original and the best Brighton stand-up comedy course, and her Chortle Award winning comedy club Comic Boom, here at Komedia Brighton in 2005.

Komedia hosts Jills range of welcoming, engaging and above all fun stand-up comedy courses for all – from absolute beginners with no experience to newer comedians looking to develop their skills.

Jill Edwards comedy courses have a proven and continuous track record of success over thirty years. She has trained some of the UK’s top comedy writers, performers and award winning television comedians, including Jimmy Carr, Shaparak Khorsandi, Shazia Mirza, rising star Jack Skipper, Brighton’s own Seann Walsh, Angela Barnes and Romesh Ranganathan.

Jill’s stand-up comedy classes are where they all first started out…

“I wouldn’t be a professional comic if it wasn’t for Jill Edwards.” Romesh Ranganathan

“This comedy course can change your life, and I sincerely mean that.” Angela Barnes


COURSES TAKE PLACE IN EITHER THE KOMEDIA STUDIO OR BASEMENT 

AGES 18+

What people are saying...

Great customer service from security at the door, to the server showing us to our seats. Venue was clean and had a great vibe, and the act was brilliant.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and your amazing team for everything you all did to ensure last night’s show was a success!

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!
