About Us

Established in 1994, Brighton’s beloved independent live entertainment venue presents one of the largest, most diverse arts programmes in the UK.

With over 700 performances of comedy, music, cabaret and children’s theatre, the programme features the very best of international and national performers and includes Komedia’s all conquering resident comedy shows: Komedia Comedy Club, Comic Boom and Down the Hatch.

Whilst winning the Chortle Comedy Award for Best Venue in the South a record 18 times, Komedia is also an important grassroots music venue in Brighton. A regular feature of The Great Escape and Brighton Psych Fest, Komedia aims to be at the forefront of new music.

Komedia Productions is Komedia’s charitable arm which supports the regular kids programme at Komedia, Sundae Club, and run creative workshop programmes for young people; working with local schools and communities to deliver creative events and collaborate with venues across the city to produce special seasons of events for children & families plus much more. For more information about Komedia Productions and Komedia Kids, click here.

Komedia incorporates two exciting, vibrant performance spaces with flexible set-ups and a kitchen serving freshly prepared food at most seated shows. And with Picturehouse operating the Duke’s at Komedia Cinema upstairs, Komedia can justifiably claim to be at the cultural, as well as geographical heart of Brighton.
