Sophie Duker & Matt Winning

Sophie Duker: Work In Progress

Hot comedy weirdo, Sophie Duker is here to rustle up a new hour of comedy fire for 2024. What, like it’s hard? All this race-baiter / big ol’ freak needs is a working microphone, a tequila-based cocktail, and a captive audience – honey, that’s you.

As seen winning Taskmaster, Celebrity Pointless, Celebrity Mastermind – and the moral victory on House of Games. Host of the Wacky Racists Comedy Club, Obsessed with… I May Destroy You and Everything I Know About Love.

‘An incomparable stand-up voice of our time’  Voice Magazine

‘Laugh-out loud funny’  The Telegraph

‘Extremely funny’  Scotsman

‘Not scared to push the boundaries, she has perfected a cool-girl persona that has us clinging to her every word’  Fest

This is a work-in-progress show and may contain adult themes.


Matt Winning

Dr Matt Winning is a London-based Scottish comedian and environmental economist who performs live climate change comedy.

Matt has a PhD in climate change policy and is still an active researcher, combining his two worlds of comedy and environmental issues in an attempt to help save the planet. In 2021 he published his book Hot Mess which encompasses these two worlds. Adam Kay described it as ““a very funny, important and only moderately terrifying clarion call of a book”.

He performed his latest stand-up show of the same name across the UK and was awarded Pick of the Fringe at Bedford Fringe Festival.

What people are saying...

Some nights you go to see comedy… Other nights, you witness new stars being born. Watching new voices develop and seeing one of my favourite new acts (James Ellis) headlining the night was superb.

If you ever get the chance, check out Comic Boom Comedy Club. Really great to see the local Brighton comedy scene continuing to build and thrive 🤘

The best comedy show we’ve ever seen at Komedia, it absolutely delivered!!! They all nailed it. I definitely recommend checking Komedia Comedy Club out — it is the perfect spot to have a good laugh! P.S. Cerys Nelmes & Touissant Douglass my absolute favourites!!

Great for an evening’s entertainment. Central location, good service and delivered on the comedy.

Everything was so accessible and with ease, we truly had such a lovely and comfortable time. It means a lot to have such a positive experience at a place we love. The comedy itself was incredible and we were cackling the entire time! This was my first night out of the house in months, thank you so very much for making it so joyful and comfortable. You are all brilliant!!!!!

Please extend my gratitude to all the terrific people at Komedia who contributed to my night flowing smoothly.

We just wanted to thank you all for an amazing show last night. We had a blast performing and working with you all. Thanks also to Taylor and Dylan and wow, we love your security guards. Thanks so much! Hope to see you again sometime 🙂

Thank you for hosting me! It was such a pleasure working with your incredible team. I felt truly looked after. Special shout-out to Steve and Misti on tech—you’re both stars 🧡

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.

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

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