Very busy, very famous Irish cabaret star Mark T Cox said: “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!”
With tickets at just £6, it’s a bargain of a comedy night out. So grab your mates, a drink and snack from our delicious menu… and enjoy the show!

OUR CHARITY PARTNER
Our new Charity Partner for Down the Hatch comedy club is… the Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus! The biggest gay men’s chorus in the UK – outside of London – is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025. They are a community chorus where new members are always welcome (no need to audition) to champion the values of Singing, Socialising, and Support together.
Brighton GMC and Down the Hatch comedy club both aim to celebrate diverse life experiences, foster community through art, and entertain in the most fabulous way, so this is a match made in heaven!
