ENSONGLOPEDIA PRESENT:  

Light Fantastic!

Thirty years ago, childhood friends Rod and Iris played an ill-fated gig at their school science fair. Today their band is reuniting for a one-off anniversary extravaganza. Will their experiment succeed, or will uncontrolled variables force them to abandon their hypothesis? A musical comedy about light, science and friendship for all ages, particularly aimed at 11-14 year olds. Written and performed by award-winning science-singer-songwriter John Hinton, and award-winning comedian/performer Laura Mugridge. Directed by Kat Joyce. This is the brand new show by Ensonglopedia, whose many previous Brighton Fringe hits include the Puddle at the End of the World and Ensonglopedia of Animals. The science is fact-checked by Diamond Light Source and Sussex University.

What people are saying...

What a superb venue. I have been several times. Always a warm welcome and a safe space to enjoy the artists that are more “left field” than other more mainstream venues.

Great time, bar staff were amazing. First time here and will definitely be back. Have been to many comedy clubs in Brighton and this has been the best so far!

Amazing experience with the Komedia staff. They have gone above and beyond to cater for my disabilities at a show on June 5th, making sure I am seated correctly and can easily access the area. Very rare experience nowadays. Thank you again for all your help!

Just the best place if you like comedy. The food is great, the show room cozy and personable. Excellent atmosphere every time. An amazing place to watch a live show. Highly recommended!

Always something interesting happening at Komedia. Probably the venue I find myself at most frequently due to the eclectic mix of acts, comedy, music, club nights, cabaret and random silliness! Feels like the heart of Brighton!

I had not been to this venue before and I have to say that I was very impressed… All the staff I encountered were friendly, helpful and cheerful. I will certainly return!!

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!
