Desiree Burch: The Golden Wrath
2026-03-19 20:00 - 21:45 | Ironworks Studios, 30 Cheapside, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 4GD, United Kingdom
There comes a day when you look around and wonder “is the world a raging bin fire, or is it perimenopause?” The answer, my friend, is “yes”.
This show has been rescheduled from Thursday 13 November 2025. All tickets for the original date remain valid for the show on 19 March 2026.
Authentic, curious, and gleefully irascible, storyteller and comedian Desiree Burch leads a madcap voyage through the Middle Ages – AKA the mid-life crisis, and its mandatory metamorphosis – in her new stand up hour.
Desiree brings both childlike wonder and crone-like wit to the experiences of losing sleep, relevance, knee cartilage, oestrogen, youth, and illusions in a laugh-packed hour that celebrates the fury and freedom found when you’ve accepted that time has ruined your plans, but roll up your sleeves to fight it anyway.
Desiree Burch is an American comedian who has appeared across the UK’s biggest comedy shows, including Taskmaster, The Mash Report, Live At The Apollo, Travelman, The Last Leg, QI, and more. She’s also the wisecracking narrator of Netflix’s iconic guilty pleasure Too Hot to Handle.
‘That Desiree Burch can have audiences of all demographics howling over something many would struggle to define is testament to rare comic chops.’ ★★★★★ Sydney Morning Herald (Australia)
‘Spectacular as it gets without costumes, props and fireworks.’ ★★★★★ Fest Mag
‘Near-perfect example of comedic storytelling.’ ★★★★ The Evening Standard
★★★★ The Guardian
★★★★ The Scotsman

Life Learnings of a Nonsensical Human – This is an ode to friendship, queerness and raving. To the kindness of strangers, the heart-break of loss, and finding joy again amidst grief. This is a love letter to the people we meet along the way, and the sticky floors we have danced on all these years.
Spoken word theatre in a debut one woman show that gleefully jumps from one subject to another in the way only an ADHD brain can. A series of poetic windows into the life and mind of Jenny Foulds, from growing up in the 90s, coming out and raves; to losing a parent, grief and finding the ability to find pockets of joy again.
This event is supported by Elle Dillon-Reams. a neurodiverse, queer artist, from Brighton. A multi award winner of Poetry Slams across the UK, her debut poetry collection ‘Maladaptive’ was published by Verve Poetry Press. Elle was part of the BBC6 Music Poetry class of 2023, featuring on BBC6 Music’, and has since had several commissions from the BBC.

Angela is a worrier. Whatever it is, she’ll worry about it. But don’t let that worry you – she’ll worry enough for the both of you.
A brand new stand-up show from Angela Barnes, star of Mock The Week and Live at The Apollo.
Angela is a worrier. Whatever it is, she’ll worry about it. But don’t let that worry you – she’ll worry enough for the both of you.
This hilarious show has some stories of success and sound logic, but mostly features stories of unmitigated failure, a distinct lack of wisdom, a little bit of German and loads of jokes.
Award winning comedian Angela’s last tour Hot Mess received critical acclaim and was filmed as a special available on ITVX. Angela has also appeared on Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, BBC’s House of Games and is a regular guest on Radio 4’s The News Quiz. Angela also co-hosts the popular comedy history podcast We Are History.

Kilimanjaro & Live Nation presents: The Snuts. Plus support from Brògeal
West Lothian’s The Snuts quickly became underdog heroes in 2021, after famously taking on global pop star Demi Lovato in a chart battle and landing their debut album ‘W.L.’ a UK number 1 – blazing a trail for a new wave of 2020’s guitar bands.
Touring relentlessly and renowned for their captivating, all-inclusive live shows, the band have cemented their status as one of the UK’s most exciting acts, achieving three Top 3 albums in just three years; a feat matched only by One Direction amongst British bands.

Nine Sixteenths
2026-03-17 20:00 - 21:30 | The Old Market, 11a Upper Market St, Brighton, East Sussex, BN3 1AS, United Kingdom
Nine Sixteenths. In 2004, in the Super Bowl halftime show finale, 23-year-old Justin Timberlake ripped off 37-year-old Janet Jackson’s top.
Her breast was exposed on screen for nine sixteenths of a second. A pop icon and role model for many black women, and an outspoken ally for the LGBTQ community, the moment derailed Jackson’s career for many years, while Timberlake’s thrived.
Who was invested in the backlash? What does all this have to say about the demographics of who controls the media, and the ways in which black women are scrutinised in the public eye?
From THE MALFUNCTION to THE AFTERMATH and a celebration of RECLAMATION, Nine Sixteenths is a journey through three acts, exploring themes of representation and pop culture with a nostalgia for the early 00’s, and the hopes and dreams of four black female performers through a visual variety of devised theatre, dance and lip sync.
“A fast, fun, multi-media look at iconic black female role models” – A Youngish Perspective
“Refreshing bold in its approach” – All That Dazzles
“Varjack’s work allows for the reclamation of the pride and power that Jackson held” – Reviews Hub
“This is not to be missed” – Theatre and Tonic
“Entertaining with an eye for prejudice” – British Theatre Guide

Get ready for a musical adventure that will take you to new realms of sound.

Debussy Prelude de l’apres midi d’un faune (10’)
Stravinsky Firebird Suite (1919 version) (19’)
Dionysis Grammenos conductor
Lukas Sternath piano
‘His thoughts, mature and considered, couldn’t have been more vividly expressed’ The New York Times
Deep in a kingdom of shadow rules the green-clawed demon king Kashchey – but young Prince Ivan has a gallant heart, and with the aid of the enchanted Firebird, even the darkest spells can be broken. When Stravinsky composed The Firebird he didn’t just imagine a wondrous fantasy world. He let us hear it, too, and today conductor Dionysis Grammenos and the LPO take you to new realms of sound – from Debussy’s sensuous arcadia, to Mendelssohn’s Scottish seascape. Pianist Lukas Sternath, meanwhile, brings all his award-winning artistry to Mozart’s 23rd Piano Concerto. Some say it’s his loveliest.

Ardal O'Hanlon: Not Himself
2026-03-13 20:00 - 22:00 | Brighton Dome Concert Hall, Church St, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 1UE, United Kingdom
Ardal O’Hanlon: Not Himself.
Oh, it’s all there! All the trademarks are in evidence in Ardal’s latest show. Beautifully crafted stand-up comedy? Yes. Celebrated use of language? Tick. Lateral thinking, surreal flourishes, sharp observations? Of course. As for the occasional profundity? Maybe.
Despite his best attempts over many decades to put the world to rights, it is still a colossal mess. And so, Ardal has no choice but to go out on the road again. Like the good comedy doctor he is, he fearlessly diagnoses the various pathologies and neuroses that are currently ravaging humanity. Disclaimer: No solutions provided.
After an alarming experience at the supermarket, Ardal reflects on who he is as a man and a comedian. He examines his own ethnic and religious background. And thinks twice about the very core of his identity as a voice of reason. Is everything a big lie? With no major trauma of his own to draw on for material, apart from the drag of getting older, he also turns his gaze outwards at the joys and follies of contemporary life. Towel Animals? A.I.? Chair Yoga? Cauliflower as a main course? Yes. Yes. Yes. And Yes. No current idiocy is left unexamined.
With a highly developed sense of the ridiculous, and proper comedy bones, Not Himself, is a testament to the healing power of humour. And the joy of jokes.

2026-03-11 19:30 - 22:00 | Brighton Dome Concert Hall, Church St, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 1UE, United Kingdom
Andy Zaltzman: The Zaltgeist 2026 – A Second Thwack.
Following a sell-out 2024/2025 national run, Andy Zaltzman – host of The Bugle podcast and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, statistician on Test Match Special, and champion of Taskmaster series 18 – extends his hit tour into 2026.

Fully updated due to the UK and the world both steadfastly refusing to sort themselves out, Andy assesses the state of renowned planet Earth, its under-pressure current in-house millennium, and its most famous and controversial species – the human race.
With politicians the world over striving to outdo each other in splattering their people with a cocktail of incompetence, inexplicability and insatiable dishonesty, Andy, the universe’s leading and only 2-in-1 political-comedian-and-professional-cricket-statistician, harnesses the combined 21st-century witchcraft of A.I. and his live audience. Between them, they will concoct vaguely plausible answers to perennially troublesome questions such as What?, Who?, When?, Where?, and above all Why?
WARNING: May feature talking penguin.

Double Indemnity Brighton 2026
Hollywood icon Mischa Barton (The O.C.) makes her UK stage debut in Double Indemnity, the gripping adaptation of one of the greatest crime novels of the 20th Century – the story that inspired Billy Wilder’s film noir classic.
Los Angeles, 1930s. Amidst the wreckage of the Great Depression, Walter Huff, a sharp-eyed insurance salesman, has built his career spotting scams. But when he meets the dangerously seductive Phylis Nirdlinger (Barton) to discuss her husband’s life insurance policy, he finds himself drawn into a web of lust, greed, and betrayal. Together they plot the perfect crime: murder the husband, cash in the policy, and disappear into the Californian sunset.
But passion can cloud judgement, and guilt can corrode the most perfect of plans. With each step increasingly risky, and as mistrust simmers, will Walter and Phyllis outsmart the law – or each other?
James M. Cain’s thrillingly amoral masterpiece of murder, deceit, and mystery is adapted for the stage by Tom Holloway and directed by Oscar Toeman.

Randy Feltface: Gimmick.
Randy Feltface has spent his career denying the accusation that he is nothing more than a gimmick. Now it’s time to own it.

He made his US television debut on NBC’s Bring The Funny and his comedy specials have become pirated YouTube sensations, garnering critical praise while amassing a huge and devoted following across the globe. He’s also a total gimmick.
