LYR

22 Apr 2026 - 7 May 2026

LYR is author and current British poet laureate Simon Armitage, singer-songwriter Richard Walters, and multi-instrumentalist/producer Patrick Pearson. LYR’s story stretches back to 2009 when Walters, an admirer of Armitage’s extensive body of written work, approached the poet’s publisher about the possibility of collaboration. The result was Walters setting Armitage’s poetry to music in 2011. Realising that their two-part formula had potential to grow, Walters approached musical acquaintance, Pearson, and his joining provided the impetus to create the genre-splicing ‘supergroup’. The three-piece went on to create two critically acclaimed albums, Call In The Crash Team and The Ultraviolet Age. Coming together with focused, blended labour to instrumentalise Armitage’s words and vocal delivery, opposing the tag of ‘spoken word project’ or similar, the band ruminates instead on what aural breakthroughs could only be possible with a non-singing vocalist, gifted singer-songwriter and alchemistic musician-producer. LYR are now a firmly established part of the contemporary music scene, with regular radio airplay across the networks and over five million streams to their name. They have appeared at many major festivals including Green Man and Blu Dot, and sold out events across the UK. Please note that reserved seating is in place for this concert.

It's A Mystery!

8 Jul 2026 - 8 Jul 2026

It’s a Mystery! A hilarious and moving exploration of the enduring appeal of murder mysteries “I suppose you’re wondering why I’ve gathered you all here this evening.” Tim Benzie, the acclaimed creator and host of Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote presents his now one-man show, a funny and engrossing deep dive into the appeal of murder mysteries. The audience are summoned to the drawing room as Tim takes on the role of detective, examining the clues that drew him to the genre as a child, a journey from Scooby Doo and Encyclopaedia Brown, to German mystery-puzzle books via reading the entire works of Agatha Christie as a teenager. Along the way he draws connections between obsessions with detective films, the TV series Murder, She Wrote and his current Solve-Along show. There is a tenacious theory that in times of societal strife, murder mysteries surge in popularity, and Tim unpacks the notion via stories of his own troubled times, to determine not just why there is a detective in all of us, but ultimately what is the mystery that we’re all trying to solve. Funny, touching and showcasing the delight in pop culture minutiae that has made Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote a cult hit, It’s a Mystery! will appeal to fans of the genre and anyone who’s ever wondered whodunnit (and why). It’s a Mystery! has played to critical acclaim at the 2023 and 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Bread and Roses Theatre London in 2024 and was performed in New York and Australia in 2025.

The Kendall Connection live at Komedia

19 Jun 2026 - 19 Jun 2026

Brighton’s live music scene is set for a major blues-rock showcase as The Kendall Connection take over the Studio venue at Komedia Brighton for a night of high-energy musicianship, soaring guitar work, and emotionally charged original songs. Spearheaded by frontman guitarist and singer-songwriter Nick Kendall, the band features an all-star lineup of UK session players: Steve Holness (keyboards), Greg Hagger (bass), and Tom Clare (drums). Collectively, they are among the UK’s most in-demand musicians, having performed over the past decade with major names including 10cc, Tony Hadley, Paul Weller, Brian May, Gordon Giltrap and Alice Cooper. With blues-rock at its core, the band’s sound draws from a rich palette of influences — from modern guitar stylists and jazz-rock innovators through to classic rock storytellers and groove-driven roots artists. The result is a dynamic, contemporary sound blending blues, rock, jazz, country and funk into a powerful live experience. Nick Kendall will arrive in Brighton fresh off tour performing as guitarist with Sting in the acclaimed stage production The Last Ship, bringing that tour-honed energy and world-class precision straight to the Komedia stage. Formed in late 2016, the four-piece has released two albums to strong critical praise. Their debut record was hailed by Blues Matters Magazine as “one of the best debut albums this reviewer has heard in a long time.” Their songs showcase crafted musicianship, faultless riffs, and emotive lyrical writing that connects with both dedicated music fans and wider audiences. The band supported Jools Holland on tour, further cementing their reputation as a must-see live act. Kendall is also known to audiences for his performances with rock legends 10cc, as well as with GO NOW!, celebrating the music of The Moody Blues — but this Brighton show puts his original blues-rock project front and centre. Audiences can expect a night of blues-tinted rock, masterful guitar work, tight grooves, and songs that balance technical brilliance with emotional punch.

Aurie Styla: Maverick

12 Sept 2026 - 23 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. “Masterful Entertainment” - British Comedy Guide “Perfect & Polished! There is an effortlessness to his style that’s rare.” - ITalkTelly “Energy was on another level... polished, virtuoso performance!” - TimeoTalk “There’s a natural warmth to his presence that’s intoxicating and makes for one of the most moreish hours.” - Chortle “Combines laughs and vulnerability to winning effect” - The Times Run-time: 110 mins approx inc. interval. Age guidance: 14+ live stand-up. Photography Credit: Garry Carbon

Gary Meikle: Yer Maw

24 Apr 2026 - 2 Dec 2026

Hi guys! It’s me, Gary. These blurbs do my head in, if I’m honest. Each year I need to sit and write one out before I even know what stories I’m gonna share. So what's the new show about? I don’t know yet, but it will contain at least one 'yer maw' joke! What I do know is that it’ll be another brand-new combination of stories, opinions and observations about me and my family, as well as all of you. It's always about people and the mad things we do, sometimes animals too, but more often than not it's about people and the stupid scenarios we end up in.

Here’s how the night unfolds: Part 1 A stand-up set from your opening comic gets things started, followed by a quick, fun icebreaker to get everyone mingling - no awkward intros required.

Think dance-offs, outrageous dating stories, or comedian-led matchmaking. Unexpected, a little chaotic, and always fun. Because you deserve someone who gets your jokes. Or at least laughs with you.

Improbotics Presents: Artificial Reality

25 May 2026 - 25 May 2026

Please be advised, this show may contain some adult themes or explicit content, and admittance to anyone below 16 is at the discretion of their legal guardian. Improvised show where audiences become producers of a reality show. With questionable methods, AI, wild characters, and deep fake celebrities, we sabotage reality TV. Led by an Executive Producer host, the crowd controls the show while contestants compete for audience love. Because of budget cuts, "celebrities" must be recreated using our own questionable "artificial reality" methods (state-of-the-art image and video generation, and AR glasses to send lines from a chatbot to control the "celebrity"). As contestants get eliminated, replaced, or rebooted by AI, the show becomes a hilarious and fast-paced high-tech satire of AI slop and voyeurism, by Improbotics, the award-winning pioneers of robot theatre. 'Whose Line is it Anyway?' mixed with 'I, Robot' Brighton and Hove News 2024.

The Rifles

27 Aug 2026 - 28 Nov 2026

There can’t be many other bands in the UK with as fervent a fanbase as The Rifles. Over a decade after their formation, they can still play to thousands of fans all over the country. They have an impressive catalogue under their belt which includes 5 studio albums and a host of songs that have become institutional fan favourites, and it is these tracks that have been compiled to form the new compilation, 'Singles Collection'. It’s hard to think of a band more operating on their own terms, more outside of any sphere of influence, and more still alive than the Rifles. 'Singles Collection' is a retrospective homage to that achievement.

Irvine Welsh: In Conversation

19 Sept 2026 - 20 Sept 2026

Irvine Welsh was born in the great city of Edinburgh and matured in the housing schemes of Leith, West Pilton and Muirhouse. Neither school nor conventional employment appealed, but he was inspired to write after experiencing the explosions of punk and rave first hand. Trainspotting, Welsh's debut novel, was rejected from the Man Booker Prize shortlist, allegedly for offending the judges. It went on to sell over a million copies in the UK alone and was adapted into an iconic film by Danny Boyle, starring Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle and Kelly Macdonald. Porno was adapted into T2: Trainspotting, a sequel that reunited the original cast and crew. Renton, Begbie, Sick Boy and Spud, the much-loved antiheroes of Trainspotting, inhabit a fictional universe based on Welsh's experience of an inner-city Scotland blighted by Thatcherism and drug abuse. This universe has often been revisited in novels including Skagboys, The Blade Artist and A Decent Ride. It has been augmented by iconic characters from subsequent books, like Juice Terry, Post Alec, Jonty McKay and, trying to keep them (and themselves) in order, wayward cops Bruce Roberson and Ray Lennox, both of whom were played to devastating effect by James McAvoy in the film Filth, and on TV by Dougray Scott in Crime. 'General Admission + Book' tickets include a copy of Irvine Welsh's new book, Can Nothing Save Us, which will be available collect at the event.

Spencer Jones: Dogs Wip

Spencer Jones (me) is making a new live comedy show and this is a work in progress of that show. It’s called dogs because there’s dogs in it and it’s about dogs.
