John-Luke Roberts: It is Better + Best Of

In 2024 John-Luke Roberts remounted all ten of his solo shows, from over fifteen years of making and performing comedy. To celebrate the achievement, he’s taking a compilation of some of his favourite bits on tour, alongside the whole of his 2020 show “It Is Better.” This is a rare chance to see JLR’s least seen show, originally released to vinyl in a year when no one could go out.

 

“It is Better” is an hour long spoken-word comedy show written and performed by John-Luke Roberts, with music by composer John Chambers. An absurd reflection on love and loss, “It Is Better” is best enjoyed around a log fire, while long-thought extinct beasts roam through the streets outside. But, failing that, it’s good in a theatre.

What people are saying...

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.

Lovely night with a variety of comedians with different styles. The MC was incredible and really engaged the audience! Highly recommend!

Great set up, good food and drinks and the comedy was stunning too.

The weekend was mega fun! Lovely team and crowd.

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!

Thank you for having us, we had a lovely night!

Came with a couple of friends who don’t generally go to comedy. They loved the evening. Chantal Nash and Gbemi Oladipo were the favourites (Gbemi’s plane section had me crying!). They though the food was great and were impressed with the speed of service. Overall a brilliant night. Thank you for looking after us so well.

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

It’s always entertaining when you sit at the front. The host was great, and the lineup was extremely funny. Well worth a visit great value for money.

Had a great time. Recognisable TV personality hosting. Several hours of comedy. Drink prices reasonable for the area. Lots of laughs.
