Komedia

About

Brighton’s favourite independent venue, Komedia, has been the go-to spot for live events since 1994.

Renowned for its fabulous comedy nights – having won the prestigious Chortle Award for Best Comedy Venue in the South & East a record number of times - the venue hosts over 700 events a year across a range of genres: comedy, live music, club nights, drag, cabaret, live podcasts, book launches, and even children’s theatre.

If you’re new to Komedia, why not start with one of their in-house comedy shows?

  • Komedia Comedy Club, recently voted Best Pro Comedy Night in the South (Chortle Awards 2026)
  • Feel-good, fast-paced new comedy showcase Comic Boom Comedy Club, in association with Jill Edwards Comedy Workshops
  • Queer and alternative comedy night Down the Hatch, a monthly mix of stand-up, character comedy, musical comedy, ventriloquism, drag, and more.

Within the venue, you’ll find two performance spaces - the intimate Studio and larger Basement. Both spaces have a fully stocked bar, and the Basement has its own kitchen from which freshly prepared food is available at most seated shows. Check out the various food & drink menus here.

Komedia also offers private hires. If you're searching for places in Brighton to host your staff party, awards ceremony, or even wedding reception, then Komedia may just be your answer!

With its central location, Komedia gives easy access to a variety of independent shops, bars, restaurants, and hotels and is just a 7-minute walk from Brighton Station, allowing for travel to Gatwick in 30 minutes and London in under an hour.

Aiming to be accessible to all, Komedia currently holds a Silver Award with Attitude Is Everything and actively working to improve its access standards. Please see accessibility details here.
