ENSONGLOPEDIA PRESENT:  

Light Fantastic!

Thirty years ago, childhood friends Rod and Iris played an ill-fated gig at their school science fair. Today their band is reuniting for a one-off anniversary extravaganza. Will their experiment succeed, or will uncontrolled variables force them to abandon their hypothesis? A musical comedy about light, science and friendship for all ages, particularly aimed at 11-14 year olds. Written and performed by award-winning science-singer-songwriter John Hinton, and award-winning comedian/performer Laura Mugridge. Directed by Kat Joyce. This is the brand new show by Ensonglopedia, whose many previous Brighton Fringe hits include the Puddle at the End of the World and Ensonglopedia of Animals. The science is fact-checked by Diamond Light Source and Sussex University.

What people are saying...

Completely exceeded our expectations! We got fantastic seats, the show was brilliant, and the staff went above and beyond with exceptional customer service.

A night of belly laughs guaranteed. It’s a cool venue and a credit to Brighton.

Great night out! Mild emotional damage included, would absolutely risk sitting in the front row again.

Komedia isn’t just a comedy club. It’s the sound of people forgetting everything else for a while and that’s worth showing up for.

Guaranteed good evening out. Easy to find, good selection of food and drinks, great atmosphere.

Refreshing, thought-provoking and always very funny.

It has that reputation of being one of those go-to spots where you’re pretty much guaranteed a fun evening, even if you don’t recognise the comedians on the line-up.

An evening of fun and laughs to share with my family and friends time and time again.

Remembering some great nights with some of my favourite comedians for nearly 30 years!

Mixture of new & more established comedians in a great location, well organised and a fair price.

A lively room full of big laughs, quick wit, and the kind of night out where you forget to check your phone.

Big laughs, buzzing crowds, and a fun night out with a quirky, local vibe.
