Raise the Roof: A Fundraiser for YMCA Brighton

Comedy Fundraiser for YMCA Brighton – RAISING THE ROOF 2025

RAISING THE ROOF is a comedy night with serious heart. All proceeds go to YMCA Brighton, helping adults in Brighton & Hove stay off the streets and into supported accommodation, with the support and services they need to move towards independent living.

We’ve lined up a phenomenal night of stand-up:

The one and only Mark Steel

The razor-sharp Zoe Lyons

Comedy legend Mark Thomas

The brutally funny Elliot Steel

All held together by local legend Guy Lloyd so expect plenty of cheeky fun!

THIS EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE KOMEDIA BASEMENT

UNRESERVED SEATING

AGES 18+

VEGETARIAN SNACK MENU AVAILABLE

Thanks again for having me last week. I was very, very happy… and my first solo show in Brighton! Thrilled we got such a good crowd.

A MASSIVE thank you for making us feel so welcome and for all your support you gave us. Thank you to Steve (our Technician on the night) and Taylor (behind the bar) for being sooo brilliant and helpful. Big thank you to the doorman at Komedia for being so lovely too! 😊

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.

Maddy Jones

Once again, great fun at the [Komedia Comedy] club! The crowds were great and the staff is second to none. Thanks again!

Dave Fulton

Thanks so much for having me, it’s always a blast.

Ben Pope

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!

Mark T Cox

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.

Fleur Walsh

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