@ Artista Cafe and Gallery
Admn: £20

Brought to you by the Secret Comedy Club
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.

In Between Gallery: Lost Connection I', Afghanistan. 2021 by Rick Findler

@ Fabrica
Admn: Free

The In Between Gallery is a temporary gallery in the Fabrica window showing contemporary photography between Fabrica's main exhibition programme. We show work from two artists a year including an Open Call between December and April.

The image 'Lost Connection I', Afghanistan. 2021' by Rick Findler was taken in Spring 2021 in Afghanistan.

All throughout Bamyan Province (a picturesque mountainous region of Afghanistan 80 miles west of Kabul) thousands of unconnected and unfinished electricity pylons stretch for miles, and have done so for more than two years. Just 35% of Afghanistan's population has access to electricity, with the electricity sector fraught with tales of corruption. The pylons remain standing, unused and unemployed, symbolic of the corruption afflicting the electricity sector, the feeling of an abandoned population and their disillusionment toward the governing authorities. As the west turns it's back on Afghanistan, it is the people stuck in the middle which are affected the most. They feel abandoned - abandoned by both their government as well as the global powers that once protected them. These pylons, which once held so much promise for so many people, symbolise a nation forgotten by everyone.

Since the unprecedented takeover by the Taliban, the country finds itself in an even more difficult predicament. Help and support is difficult, however if you would like to support a trusted charity who is working out there, please visit The International Committee.
