John-Luke Roberts: It is Better + Best Of

In 2024 John-Luke Roberts remounted all ten of his solo shows, from over fifteen years of making and performing comedy. To celebrate the achievement, he’s taking a compilation of some of his favourite bits on tour, alongside the whole of his 2020 show “It Is Better.” This is a rare chance to see JLR’s least seen show, originally released to vinyl in a year when no one could go out.

 

“It is Better” is an hour long spoken-word comedy show written and performed by John-Luke Roberts, with music by composer John Chambers. An absurd reflection on love and loss, “It Is Better” is best enjoyed around a log fire, while long-thought extinct beasts roam through the streets outside. But, failing that, it’s good in a theatre.

What people are saying...

I always enjoy comedy at the Komedia. The venue is perfect for a comedy club – low ceilings and intimate, but also space for a good sized audience.

Another fantastic evening at Komedia’s Comedy Club! … the best way to spend your Friday or Saturday night in Brighton.

Lovely night with a variety of comedians with different styles. The MC was incredible and really engaged the audience! Highly recommend!

Great set up, good food and drinks and the comedy was stunning too.

The weekend was mega fun! Lovely team and crowd.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and your amazing team for everything you all did to ensure last night’s show was a success!

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.

Thanks very much for last night. 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!
