SAM HICKMAN: FIRST WOMAN

A Comedy Harp show! What an original premise; maybe just come for that!?

‘The Sensational Sam Hickman’ (The British Comedy Guide) returns to Brighton with the sequel to her critically acclaimed show‘ Sexy Rude Harp Concert.

Dubbed ‘ Tom Lehrer of the comedy harp’(Fringe Review) Hickman is a rising star in the cabaret world; expect ‘old school glamour and big harp energy’ (The Reviews Hub).

‘Fleabag but queer and sexy with a harp: the musical’ (All That Dazzles)

‘Michelle Visage mixed with the musical and comedic ability of Victoria Wood’ (Broadwaybaby)

First Woman looks at womanhood, motherhood, medical transition, and how to win.

Why do we wait to be happy? How do we escape the trauma of our past?

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.

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!

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.
