Coronavirus – A Great British Farce

@ Lantern Theatre
Admn: £13

Joe went a little bit mad during lockdown – just like you did – and it’s hilariously cathartic to watch. This smash-hit Camden Fringe show is inspired by the writer’s ridiculous lockdown diaries – and it’s the best way to laugh away the trauma of the past 18 months. Joe’s stuck in a tiny flat trying to make sense of the pandemic. One day, whilst watching a government briefing on TV, he decides to answer back. This sets off a surreal conversation with… Boris? Or maybe it’s his friend on Facebook? Or… maybe it’s his fridge.
Brought to you by writer-director team Mark Daniels and Edwina Strobl, this Offie-nominated dark satirical comedy offers a unique take on the British response to the pandemic. The play’s two actors (rising stars Kathryn Haywood and Edward Bartram) take you on a high-energy farcical journey from panic buying to Jackie Weaver, with an unhealthy dose of British gusto thrown in. This is absurd, relatable, laugh-out-loud comedy at its best. You simply have to see it.
“Funny, intelligent, satirical” ⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The catharsis we all need” ⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Thanks to Joe, I no longer feel quite so alone” ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Brought to you in partnership with mental health charity, Campaign to End Loneliness.

Nathan Cassidy: Bumblebee

@ The Electric Arcade
Admn: £10 / £8.50

Thought your 2020 was bad? You get home, the door is smashed, a burglar flees. You chase - to the backing of 'Flight of the bumblebee'. And then... a sting in the tale - let's play.
'Bumblebee' is a new show from multi-award winning comedian and host of Psycomedy and Daily Notes, Nathan Cassidy. It's an edge-of-your-seat and laugh-filled chase story as Nathan pursues his burglar and his life flashes before his eyes. Think all the suspense of a Netflix true crime documentary with all the storming, powerful comedy of Bill Burr. A powerhouse of a performance and a barn-stormer of a show, with an ending that will make your jaw drop to the floor!

Best Comedy Show Greater Manchester Fringe Nominee 2021
OFF Fest Awards Nominee 2021
Best Show Leicester Comedy Festival Nominee 2020 (for 'Observational')
Best Show Buxton Fringe Winner (and 5-time nominee)

Reviews - for 'Observational'... "The best show at this year's Fringe. A classic, structured, rollercoaster hour. Star-in-waiting... He is untouchable" **** (Bruce Dessau, The Times 2020) and for "Bumblebee"... "Nathan Cassidy is one of the funniest comedians I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Exemplary, and you can tell how polished and perfected he's made his show." Seagull News 2021

Shazia Mirza: Coconut

@ Komedia
Admn: £15

Following the success of her critically acclaimed recent shows; With Love From St. Tropez, a riot of brexit, buquas and butt-plugs through the lens of The Periodic Table, and The Kardashians Made Me Do It, a searing and urgent exploration of life, love and Jihadi brides, Shazia is taking on the burning (and infectious) issues of our time in her latest show; ‘Coconut’.

“I wrote this show over a year ago. It was relevant, funny, timely and I knew every single bit of it. Then one day in March the world ended. I had nothing to do, nowhere to go, and I did what everyone else was doing. I sat on the settee in my pyjamas, stuffing myself with Nutella whilst watching documentaries on Ted Bundy. I thought I’d better change my show and make it more relevant, no one cares about reality TV, celebrity, and me starving in a jungle, lets get real.

People have been struggling to find eggs this past year, Prince Harry told The Queen do one, Meghan Markle turned into the new Yoko Ono and there’s a few more black people on ITV. Things got serious and I have to do some jokes on this, while I’m playing to sell out crowds of 100 people in 3000 seater stadiums”.

THE SECRET COMEDY CLUB FRIDAYS
WHO WE ARE:
Brighton & Hove’s best small comedy club and winner of the Audience Choice Award for Best Fringe Venue 2021. We are the only comedy club in Brighton that runs on every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday. If you prefer a safer and more friendly experience than going to a big comedy club this is the venue for you.

This is a much more intimate experience than going to a big club so in order to keep it friendly and fun we run a no heckling policy at The Secret Comedy Club.*.

WHO'S ON?

You can find a list of who is performing on our website here

WHAT WE DO:
Expect award winning comedy with top tier headliners from stage and TV and support from the best up and coming names on the UK comedy circuit. We have a new line up each week, a new headliner each week and a new MC each week so you are always getting something fresh!

If you would like to know who is on you can check our website and click the who's on button.

"It's a intimate, friendship-making and entertaining experience." You will be up close and personal (it IS cosy!) with funny folks from London and south coast at the most welcoming and friendly funny venue in Hove (actually). Welcome ....to the Secret Comedy Club! Shhhh....

HOW IT WORKS:
Doors open at 6pm for the early show and 8:30pm for the late show. The shows start at 7pm and 9:30pm so there's plenty of time to grab some food & drinks before the shows begin.

Entry: £25 on the door

Advance ticket sales online but if you choose to buy on the door (if we have any left) get here early to avoid disappointment as spaces are very limited. We only have tickets on the door if we are not sold out online or if someone hasn't turned up to take their seat.

As this show is regularly sold out priority seating is given to ticket holders who arrive at least 15min before we start. If you arrive later than that and have a pre bought ticket we will still guarantee you a space but we cannot guarantee where you will be seated. Anyone arriving 15min or more after we start will only be let in if there are still seats available. No refunds for late arrivals.*

*No refunds on tickets for late arrivals or if you are asked to leave for heckling

We would rather not have empty seats so we may resell the tickets if you arrive late and have not let us know.

Brought to you by the Secret Comedy Club
THE SECRET COMEDY CLUB SATURDAYS
WHO WE ARE:
Brighton & Hove’s best small comedy club and winner of the Audience Choice Award for Best Fringe Venue 2021. We are the only comedy club in Brighton that 5 days per week from Tuesday to Saturday. If you prefer a safer and more friendly experience than going to a big comedy club this is the venue for you.

This is a much more intimate experience than going to a big club so in order to keep it friendly and fun we run a no heckling policy at The Secret Comedy Club.*.

WHO'S ON?

You can find a list of who is performing on our website here

WHAT WE DO:
Expect award winning comedy with top tier headliners from stage and TV and support from the best up and coming names on the UK comedy circuit. We have a new line up each week, a new headliner each week and a new MC each week so you are always getting something fresh!

If you would like to know who is on you can check our website and click the who's on button.

"It's a intimate, friendship-making and entertaining experience." You will be up close and personal (it IS cosy!) with funny folks from London and south coast at the most welcoming and friendly funny venue in Hove (actually). Welcome ....to the Secret Comedy Club! Shhhh....

HOW IT WORKS:
Doors open at 5pm for the early show and 8pm for the late show. The shows start at 6pm and 8:30pm so there's plenty of time to grab some food & drinks before the shows begin.

Entry: £25 on the door

Advance ticket sales online but if you choose to buy on the door (if we have any left) get here early to avoid disappointment as spaces are very limited. We only have tickets on the door if we are not sold out online or if someone hasn't turned up to take their seat.

As this show is regularly sold out priority seating is given to ticket holders who arrive at least 15min before we start. If you arrive later than that and have a pre bought ticket we will still guarantee you a space but we cannot guarantee where you will be seated. Anyone arriving 15min or more after we start will only be let in if there are still seats available. No refunds for late arrivals.*

*No refunds on tickets for late arrivals or if you are asked to leave for heckling

We would rather not have empty seats so we may resell the tickets if you arrive late and have not let us know.
