Brighton Dome
This beautifully ornate multi-arts venue was first constructed as the Prince Regent's Royal Stables and Riding House in 1803. Brighton purchased the building in 1850 converting it into cavalry barracks before it was re-purposed as a concert venue and assembly hall in 1867. Now a Grade 1 listed building the art deco refit that remains today (with a couple of tweaks to bring it up to modern standards) was overseen by architect Robert Atkinson in 1934/35. Featuring three performance spaces the larger Concert Hall, the Corn Exchange and intimate Studio Theatre (accessed via New Road). Over the years the venue has hosted everyone from Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix to the Eurovision Song Contest (in 1974 when ABBA romped to victory with 'Waterloo').
The Dome is approximately 10 mins walk from Brighton station and there is parking available at the NCP Theatre Car Park on Church Street.

Sindhu Vee: Swanky
29 Oct 2026 - 17 Apr 2027
Someone once asked Sindhu Vee a very stupid question. She wants to tell you about it.
From the award-winning star of Live at the Apollo comes a brand-new stand-up show about falling through the cracks you didn’t make, avoiding the friendships you don’t want, and embracing the self-love you definitely need.
In Swanky, Sindhu Vee is taking her “outspoken, frank and funny stand-up” (Evening Standard) across the country for her first UK tour in five years.
Since 2021’s Alphabet - now available to stream on Sindhu’s website - the Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated comic has appeared on QI, Have I Got News For You and Would I Lie To You? as well as starring in Netflix’s Sex Education and Matilda the Musical as well as Amazon Prime’s Pradeeps of Pittsburgh and Picture This.
Now, having become one of the most exciting and sought-after comedy talents internationally, UK audiences can get ready for her most sophisticated, intimate and swanky show yet.

Mike Bubbins: Ideas Man
30 Oct 2026 - 27 Nov 2027
Mike Bubbins, star of hit podcast The Socially Distant Sports Bar, and of BBC television comedies Mammoth, Tourist Trap and The Unexplainers, unleashes Throwback, his first ever solo UK stand-up tour. And things may never be the same again.
Throwback is a powerful, thought-provoking, visceral hour of stand-up comedy, that pushes boundaries, defies neat descriptions and challenges the audience...
As if it is!
It’s actually an hour and a half of really funny stories, pretty impressive characterisations, possibly a song (he said he’ll see how that goes), a bit of nostalgia about the good old days, a bit of optimism about the good new days, and Mike generally having a laugh about life and not taking himself, or anything else, too seriously. Having said that, he may, at some point in the show, get very annoyed at berks, whether in the past, the present, or the future. Very annoyed.
So basically Throwback is a comedy show about Bubbins sharing, and bringing to life, the stuff that he finds funny. As comedy concepts go, it’s a pretty straightforward one, really.

Hothouse Flowers
3 Nov 2026 - 27 Dec 2026
Since the release of their last CD, 'Into Your Heart' Hothouse Flowers have been playing steadily around Ireland, America, Great Britain, Japan and Europe. Their shows last between two and three hours depending on the level of fever in the room. Most recently their sound has been enhanced and reinvigorated by the return of Peter O’Toole on bass, bouzouki and vocals. Drumming with the band these last ten years is Dave Clarke. Dave has been a drummer in Dublin since the beginning. His commitment to the beat is mesmerizing. His style has been a force in the direction of Hothouse Flowers today. Also playing with the band these days is Dorset man Martin Brunsden on double bass and backing vocals. His musicality adds yet another dimension to the ever evolving sound of the band.
There is an unpredictable energy in the band that harkens back to the 'Risk' days. They call upon their grand repertoire to create a show that is unique to the time and place. No two shows are the same. Improvisation can come at any point and allow the men express their brightest and their darkest influences. 'Rock and Roll is not about safety or politeness, it is not about perfection either. It is expression and it is spirit.' Humour is also never far from a Hothouse Flowers night. They do not take themselves seriously however, there is no mistaking the musical integrity among them as they open up to each other in musical dialogue.
Fiachna, Liam and Peter are traditional musicians. This allows for moments of ancestral connection. What was a second before a Doors-like workout, becomes an earnest and a timeless offering to the memory of Currachaí na Tra Báine. A song inherited by Fiachna describing the blow inflicted upon a community and a family due to drowning. This moment and moments like these set the Flowers apart from almost any other band of their time and trade. They are carriers of Culture and all of what that entails.
Hothouse Flowers came out of tough times. They played the streets and brought the streets to the stages of the world. Individually Fiachna and Liam are enjoying a broadening of their horizons. Fiachna has been producing and presenting radio and television programmes and working as a composer of music for television. Liam has been collaborating with the Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre Company. Still Hothouse Flowers has not yet fulfilled her destiny. The possibilities are endless. The will is there. Ni fada go bhfeicfear.

Antarctica: Vaughan Williams and Arvo Pärt
6 Dec 2026 - 6 Dec 2026
Vaughan Williams’ Antarctica, Jonny Greenwood’s shimmering waters, frozen Sibelius and Arvo Pärt.
Arvo Pärt: La Sindone
Sibelius: The Swan of Tuonela
Jonny Greenwood: Water
Vaughan Williams: Symphony no.7 ‘Sinfonia antartica’
Elizabeth Watts: soprano
Bishi: tanpura
Kathy Hinde: Visuals
Joanna MacGregor: conductor
Women of the Brighton Festival Chorus
Exploration goes deep into the psyche. Vaughan Williams wrote a magnificent score for the 1948 film Scott of the Antarctic, then transformed it into his 7th symphony, Sinfonia Antarctica five years later: a brooding work of genius. Man against implacable Nature had fascinated Vaughan Williams since the Sea Symphony of 1909 and his one-act opera of Synge’s Riders to the Sea in 1927. The expressive humanity in Scott’s doomed journey found its weight forty years later: music that’s uncanny and terrifying, as well as beautiful and rich. We’re joined by the exquisite lyric soprano Elizabeth Watts - whose highlights include the Last Night of the Proms, and performances with Sir Simon Rattle and Michael Tilson Thomas - and the ethereal female voices of Brighton Festival Chorus.
Arvo Pärt wrote La Sindone for the Turin Winter Olympics in 2006. Capturing the frozen image of Christ on the Turin Shroud, it’s startlingly dramatic as well as mysteriously fragile. Sibelius’ poetic Swan of Tuonela provides the bridge to Jonny Greenwood’s beautifully fluid work for strings, flutes and Indian tanpura, inspired by Philip Larkin’s poem Water. The groundbreaking pop artist Bishi joins us, and the remarkable filmmaker Kathy Hinde provides beautiful live visuals.

Harmonium: With Brighton Festival Chorus
23 Jan 2027 - 23 Jan 2027
A mighty choir and orchestra reverberate in John Adams’ visceral tour de force, 'Harmonium'
Avril Coleridge-Taylor: Sussex Landscape
Beethoven: Piano Concerto no.4
John Adams: Harmonium
Joanna MacGregor piano
Alice Farnham conductor
Brighton Festival Chorus
John Adams’ fierce, propulsive tour de force, Harmonium, has become one of today’s most iconic choral works. Setting poems by John Donne (Negative Love) and Emily Dickinson (Because I could not stop for Death, Wild Nights), it embraces an ocean of feeling, with unparalleled emotional intensity. John Adams calls Harmonium ‘a secular cantata’, and it demands a large and fearless choir; we’re thrilled it will be conducted by the equally fearless Alice Farnham, rekindling her close relationship with Brighton Festival Chorus.
Avril Coleridge-Taylor’s sensuously dark tone poem Sussex Landscape was composed soon after the outbreak of World War II in 1939. Following in her father Samuel’s footsteps, Avril was a composer, conductor and musical activist, living out her long life in Buxted. Joanna MacGregor plays Beethoven’s most lyrical, searching piano concerto, with its revolutionary opening and slow movement battle between soloist and orchestra - famously described as ‘Orpheus taming the Furies.’

‘My works are profoundly affected by American popular music, jazz, ragtime, swing, rock...my personal style does not deny its roots.’ John Adams

Bad Girls and Heartbreakers: Carmen and Kurt Weill
14 Feb 2027 - 14 Feb 2027
For Valentine’s Day we’re gunning for the bad girls and heartbreakers, from Carmen to Lady Macbeth.
Bizet: Carmen Suite no.1
Kurt Weill: Speak Low; Surabaya Johnny; September Song
Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture
Shostakovich: Suite from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District
Jacqui Dankworth: mezzo and narrator
Geoffrey Paterson: conductor
There’s a luscious swoon of romance in our Valentine’s Day programme, with Tchaikovsky’s electrifying portrayal of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, his most passionate tone poem. But we’re also looking out for the ultimate bad girl, Carmen, in Ernest Guiraud’s arrangement from Bizet’s opera: daring, kittenish and knowing. James Conlon’s virtuosic suite of Shostakovich’s 1934 opera, Lady Macbeth ofMtsensk District, is a staggering achievement. In his creation of Katerina - the titular Lady Macbeth - Shostakovich scathingly laid bare the oppression of Russian women, and hypocrisy of Russian society. With his customary charisma, Geoffrey Paterson conducts a score that is riveting, burlesque and revolutionary.
We’re excited to welcome the singer and actor Jacqui Dankworth, whose stylish vocal palette draws on jazz, soul, classical and blues. Jacqui performs Kurt Weill’s songs of love and loss - including a fabulous arrangement of Speak Low by her father, John Dankworth - and narrates Lady Macbeth.
‘In all her incarnations, Jacqui Dankworth exhibits a subtle control of dynamics and voluptuous tonal richness.’ The Guardian

Spring Awakening: Birtwistle, Satie and the Firebird
21 Mar 2027 - 21 Mar 2027
A compelling journey, through Time’s Winter into Spring’s Awakening.
Birtwistle: The Triumph of Time
Satie/Debussy: Two Gymnopédies
Stravinsky: Firebird Suite (1919)
Joanna MacGregor: conductor
In a creative career that lasted more than 50 years, the great English composer Harrison Birtwistle showed a deep affinity for folklore, the seasons and the soil: he wrote of Gawain’s journey and the ancient landscape of Silbury Hill, and chose to live near Stonehenge. His breakthrough came in 1972 with the epic The Triumph of Time, hinting at a connection with Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s apocryphal etching of the same name, with its wagons of Time, Death and Fame. The idea of a cryptic, cyclical procession was to return often in Birtwistle’s music, with his favourite instruments - harp, cor anglais, soprano saxophone - narrating. Don’t miss a rare chance to hear this gripping masterpiece, the first-ever in Brighton.
After Time’s triumph, Debussy’s transparent, subtle orchestrations of Satie’s timeless Gymnopédies, coaxing spring’s rebirth. Stravinsky’s celebrated Firebird Suite blazes with a different folklore, that of the mythical bird whose feathers glitter and flicker like flames.
‘Visceral theatrical power and vividly dramatic... the gradual accumulation of tension and density in Triumph of Time is still unsurpassed in Birtwistle's output.’ Gramophone
‘Joanna MacGregor has repeatedlydemonstratedher commitment to bringing rarer repertoire to BPO’s programmes, whilst also managing to show theydon’tneglect core repertoire.’Nick Boston

Trainspotting the Musical
3 Nov 2026 - 20 Mar 2027
Thirty years on from the film that changed everything, Trainspotting: The Musical storms the stage. Written by Irvine Welsh with music & lyrics by Stephen McGuinness & Irvine Welsh and directed & developed by Caroline Jay Ranger, this is the story of the outsiders, the rebels, a brand-new, expectation defying musical, pumping in live and loud defiance across the West End stage.
Cult heroes of youth culture: Renton, Sick Boy, Begbie, Spud, Tommy, and Kelly are back, alongside an ensemble cast and a live band. Featuring some of the electrifying tracks from the film that defined a generation, together with catchy, confrontational and celebratory original songs, set to become singalong, dance-along classics, this is more than nostalgia amplified, it's a genre-defying new musical that speaks to our contemporary malaise of defiance in the face of an uncertain future.
Radical, invigorating and life-affirming, this provocative, unforgettable experience will have even the most sceptical leave on a consciousness-altering high.

Joe Marler
29 Oct 2026 - 5 Nov 2026
Since retiring in 2024 as one of England’s great rugby players, host Joe Marler has come a long way - his appearance in the first series of The Celebrity Traitors helping push him firmly into the mainstream
Joe's 'Big Dog Theory', relentless Traitor hunting and ability to read people sparked inspiration for a new show format. In Joe Marler Will See You Now, Joe welcomes a different celebrity into his ‘practice’ and attempts to use his acute observational skills to get inside their mind through probing questions and unusual mind games.
However, Joe could not have made it happen without his co-host and research assistant, Jake Bhardwaj.
The comedian and host of the smash hit live show Not Another Quiz Night, and Saturday Night Live’s 5toLive is on hand to support Joe whenever he needs, which turns out to be quite a lot. He expertly walks the line between delivering laughs and driving the conversation forward, all while keeping Joe out of trouble.
With a large, highly engaged audience now established, Joe Marler and Jake Bhardwaj will bring the live show to life each night alongside a different famous guest, diving into the complexities of the celebrity mind to deliver something far beyond a typical interview.
Expanding on the podcast's reputation for anarchy and empathy in equal measure, each date will combine ludicrous set-pieces, immersive audience participation and a must-see peak behind the curtain of the mayhem that goes into making the programme.
Fisherman's Friends
31 Oct 2026 - 28 Nov 2027
Bound together by lifelong friendship and shared experience for more than 25 years, the Fisherman’s Friends have met on the Platt (harbour) in their native Port Isaac to raise money for charity, singing the traditional songs of the sea handed down to them by their forefathers.
In 2010 they signed a major record deal and their album Port Isaac’s Fisherman’s Friends went gold as they became the first traditional folk act to land a UK top ten album. Since then they’ve been the subject of an ITV documentary, released the hit albums One and All and Proper Job and played to hundreds of thousands of fans at home and abroad.
The Fisherman’s Friends have been widely credited with starting the revival of interest in shanty-style choral singing but a cornerstone of their success has been their constantly evolving and expanding repertoire.

Joanna MacGregor and Principal Players of Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra
21 Feb 2027 - 21 Feb 2027
Joanna MacGregor enjoys a dazzling career as a pianist and has been an incredible force as Music Director of the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra with her bold programming. She and three celebrated BPO principal players present a rich, virtuoso concert of Shostakovich, Beethoven and Brahms.
Brahms’ majestic Horn Trio invented, at a stroke, a new art form at such a high level it’s been difficult to surpass. Brahms played the horn as a young man, and his lifelong affection for the instrument crowns the first symphony, as well as memorably opening his second piano concerto. Written in 1865 while staying in Baden-Baden’s Black Forest, the horn creates an atmosphere of romantic melancholy at the opening; this and the deeply moving Adagio mesto commemorates the death of Brahms’ mother Christiane, earlier in the year, evolving into the famously exhilarating scherzo and hunting theme of the finale.
Beethoven was determined to impress - and challenge - the Viennese elite with his marvellous, first-published Op. 1 Piano Trios. The 1795 C minor trio is his earliest masterpiece, full of stormy episodes and dramatic rhetoric: the heroic, muscular narratives of his ‘middle’ period are already in view. Shostakovich’s first piano trio is also the work of a very young man. The music is magically romantic in spirit, evoking Scriabin, Glazunov and Rachmaninoff - still with the Shostakovian hallmarks of acerbic wit, sudden changes of tempo and dramatic climaxes. Performed over one brief movement, it was originally titled Poème and dedicated to Tatyana Glivenko, with whom he fell in love while convalescing.

The Rite of Spring
18 Mar 2027 - 19 Mar 2027
In this powerful triple bill, internationally acclaimed choreographer Seeta Patel invites you to experience dance at its most visceral, spiritual and electrifying.
At the heart of the evening is her Olivier Award-nominated The Rite of Spring, a bold reimagining of Igor Stravinsky’s iconic score through the lens of Bharatanatyam. Patel transforms this legendary work into something entirely new: a fusion of Indian classical dance and Western orchestral music that is “vibrant, bold, exciting” . Performed by an exquisite ensemble of Bharatanatyam dancers, this is a Rite of Spring that pulses with collective energy, ritual and renewal, a spiritual reimagining.
Alongside this landmark production, discover Shree. This solo Bharatanatyam performance, Shree, traces Mother Earth’s journey from creation to destruction, offering a contemplative reflection on her power, vulnerability, and enduring presence.
Through movement, rhythm, and expression, the work embodies Earth as the Divine Mother, one who gives birth to all life, nurtures and sustains it, and bears witness to both human wonder and human destruction. As the narrative unfolds, we see her transformation across time: abundant and life-giving, yet increasingly burdened, culminating in a plea for balance and renewal.
The evening concludes with an intimate Q&A, offering a rare opportunity to step inside the creative mind of Seeta Patel herself, to uncover the inspirations, challenges and lived experiences behind her work.
This is more than a performance. It is a journey across cultures, across forms, across the boundaries of tradition and innovation.
Experience the rhythm. Witness the ritual. Discover Seeta Patel Dance.

90s Britpop band, fronted by Louise Wener, back on the road again.
Bianca Del Rio
31 Mar 2027 - 16 Apr 2027
Bianca Del Rio, the alter ego of seasoned comic Roy Haylock and season 6 winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, is a self-professed 'clown in a gown'. This hilariously hateful comic is known for her foul mouth and unapologetic humor, but her victims hardly have time to feel the sting before she zips on to the next topic. Besides, Bianca is quick to point out that she’s the biggest joke of all. The NY Times calls her 'The Joan Rivers of the Drag World'.
First Aid Kit
19 Jan 2027 - 29 Jan 2027
First Aid Kit is a Swedish folk duo composed of sisters Johanna (b. 1990) and Klara (b. 1993) S├Âderberg, whose close vocal harmonies and woodsy, folk-influenced songwriting take influence from the likes of Fleet Foxes and Joanna Newsom. Hailing from Enskede, a southern suburb of Stockholm, the teenaged siblings began composing songs in 2007. Their 2008 YouTube video cover of the song "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" by the Fleet Foxes spread their name rapidly on the Internet, the sisters subsequently appeared alongside Fleet Foxes performing the song in a concert in Holland.
Aurie Styla: Maverick
1 Nov 2026 - 24 Apr 2027
Aurie Styla is one of the most naturally charismatic and hilarious comedians around. Following his acclaimed 100+ date worldwide tour, he’s back on the road with his brand new show ‘MAVERICK’.
‘MAVERICK’ looks at life from the end of ‘The Aurator’ Tour onwards, and although everything seems nice and ‘cushty’, something is throwing off the scales of wins and fails. The show hilariously explores his bad work-life balance, family influence, relationships, health and more.
Aurie has appeared on 'Richard Osman's House Of Games' (BBC), ‘Comedy Central Live’, ‘Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club’ (ITV), ‘Don’t Hate The Playaz’ (ITV), multiple seasons of ‘The Stand-Up Sketch Show’ (ITV2), and many more shows. He’s the host of his very popular BBC Radio 4 show ‘Tech Talk’ which is returning for a second series. In 2025 he was selected as a New Face Of Comedy at the prestigious Just For Laughs Montreal festival, and in 2026 will debut at the Netflix Is A Joke Festival in Los Angeles.
John Kearns: Tilting At Windmills
4 Nov 2026 - 18 Jun 2027
Tilting at Windmills, the brand-new stand-up show from Taskmaster alumni and double Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner, John Kearns, is extending into 2027.
A fragmented, digressing portrayal of a 38-year-old man’s life, alluding to books he hasn't read, touching on the modern condition. Plus VAT! More allusive and bleak as ever, it is unreal the comedian you become. And for who? Decent craic with the right crowd. A show for those who have read about but not committed to the Guinness Nitrosurge.
Seen bewildered on Taskmaster (Channel 4), terrified on Live at the Apollo (BBC), getting through Never Mind the Buzzcocks (Sky), and implicating others on his Sky stand-up special The Varnishing Days. More comfortable on pods but comes alive on stage, for your pleasure!

How to Talk to AI (and How Not to)
9 Dec 2026 - 9 Dec 2026
What happens when AI starts talking back?
ChatGPT and its fellow AI systems have gone from novelty to everyday presence with astonishing speed. We ask them to write our emails, plan our holidays, solve problems, and increasingly, we are turning to them for something much more personal - People are forming friendships, seeking intimacy, and even using chatbots as therapists. We are, in effect, learning to live alongside machines that can talk back. But what exactly are we talking to? And what happens when we start adapting ourselves to the way these systems think, respond and reason?
Join award-winning technology writer, Jamie Bartlett,as he discusses his latest book and Sunday Times bestseller, How to Talk to AI (and How Not To), a lively and provocative exploration of our rapidly changing relationship with artificial intelligence.
Jamie takes us inside the strange world of large language models (LLMs): how they produce their apparently intelligent responses, what they are genuinely good at, where they can go badly wrong, and how to make the most of them without becoming too trusting of machines that sound as though they understand us.
As AI becomes our collaborator, adviser, confidant and sometimes friend, what happens to the way we think, communicate and relate to each other? And, perhaps most importantly, how do we make sure we're still in charge of the conversation?

His previous books include The Dark Net and The People vs Tech, which was long-listed for the 2019 Orwell Prize for Political Writing.

Ed Night: Remains
1 Apr 2027 - 1 Apr 2027
You greet, you part. You sleep, you wake up achier than yesterday. You break something, you heal it, you break something else.
You move away, you move back to find your favourite places are all gone. You try something new, you fail. You get what you thought you wanted and it comes with a hole in your chest. You look after someone, they die, someone else gets sick, you look after them, they die, it starts again. You see a child run into a lamppost, you laugh and sneeze up blood. You meet God and he asks you for a fiver.
Fresh off the back of a string of hospital appointments and a stint in the writer’s cage of the only comedy TV show left in the country, people’s comedian and serial loser Ed Night is back on that old road with his brand new stand-up tour. Prepare to have your ribs tickled to the max by material about all sorts of different topics and subjects, from the man who believes he’ll die if he ever slows down.
Two time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee. Writer for Saturday Night Live UK. As seen and heard on Comedy Central and BBC Radio 4.
Sacred and Stage: Brighton Heritage Halls and Hidden Havens
29 Oct 2026 - 31 Dec 2026
A palace shimmering like an Eastern mirage, a hidden chapel echoing with royal secrets and cobbled lanes that once fuelled seaside scandal. Brighton is far stranger than it seems. Set off on a self-guided audio adventure to uncover the city subversive past, whispered legends and overlooked treasures, roaming from the flamboyant Royal Pavilion and the Brighton Dome to the Chapel Royal, Middle Street Synagogue and sanctuaries most visitors never find. Fifteen stops across the old town and North Laine, roughly two hours at your own pace, with narration playing as you walk. Your phone is the guide, so start whenever you like and pause for coffee whenever you want.
Spiritualized
8 Dec 2026 - 11 Apr 2027
The sleeve tells you so much about the process. It’s a picture of a lone figure. Suited up and immersed in interplanetary protective gear, he walks out across unmapped terrain. In the distance, a mountain range towers over the roughly gridded sand he’s striding. This is very much a solo mission – giant steps into the unknown. Inside the helmet, there’s all the uncertainty and madness that such a pursuit brings.
That sleeve (designed, as ever, with Mark Farrow), comes wrapped around And Nothing Hurt - Spiritualized’s eighth album, the follow up to 2012’s Sweet Heart, Sweet Light. From the opening lullaby of A Perfect Miracle through to the fading Morse Code at the close of Sail on Through, it painstakingly wraps layer upon layer of gloriously transcendent sound together to create a mesmerizing and cinematic collection of songs.
There are points – the thunderous climax of On the Sunshine; the spectral waltz of The Prize; the towering guitar solo on I’m Your Man – where the waves of blissful noise are almost overwhelming, where one can imagine the studio’s speakers vibrating themselves off of the walls. Which is an incredible feat when you discover that the album was conceived and recorded almost entirely by one man – Jason Pierce, AKA J.Spaceman - in an upstairs room in his east London home. Sat in an edit suite in Whitechapel a month or so after finishing recording, Jason talks honestly about the painstaking, frustrating process of creating And Nothing Hurt.

Jimmy Carr: Killing Jokes
7 Apr 2027 - 26 Aug 2028
In comedy, ‘killing’ is a good thing. Everywhere else, it’s frowned upon.Jimmy has confirmed kills in over 50 countries and on 13 specials. Eyewitnesses describe it as ‘a brutal, hilarious, life affirming night out’. The brand-new show is packed with fast, dark one-liners about all kinds of terrible things. But they are just jokes. They’re not the terrible things.Jokes are like magnets. They attract some people and repel others. You can joke about anything, but not with anyone. If you’re attracted to Jimmy’s brand of comedy and think you can take the jokes, then by all means come out and play. If you think you’d be offended, then stay away. At this point, being offended at a Jimmy Carr show is like buying a ticket to a horror movie and complaining you got scared. Don’t be a dummy. Look, if you’ve read this far, we know you want to come. So hurry up and buy a ticket. It’ll sell out, so don’t miss out.Please note, a £3 ticket commission fee is included in the price of the ticket.
