Brighton Comedy Garden is back with more giggles

Laughter is the kind of natural high we like here at BOTI HQ. The side-splitting-I can’t actually breathe-my abs are going to hurt tomorrow kind of stuff. If you’re partial to a chuckle or two (who isn’t?) then roll up, roll up, because the Brighton Comedy Garden is coming back to the city in July and you’re guaranteed to get face ache.

And if you too are suffering from the usual post-Fringe comedy come-down, we’d recommend getting yourselves tickets to July’s line-up sharpish.

Comic legends and a hand-picked bunch of rising stars alike will be gracing the open-air stage in Preston Park over the course of the five-day festival with each show featuring a mix of laugh-inducing talent.

From master of the deadpan Jack Dee, the legendary Dylan Moran to 8 out of 10 Cats regular Sara Pascoe, QI‘s Alan Davies and Starstruck‘s Rose Matafeo (if you haven’t seen the sharply written millennial comedy, we’d highly recommend it), there’s something for most comedy tastes.

The event was set up by siblings Will Briggs and Cass Randolph (pictured below) in 2019. The duo are behind Greenwich Comedy Festival (Time Out’s ‘favourite London comedy festival’) and their equally popular Bristol Comedy Garden, so you know you’re in good hands!

The festival-style set-up brings bars with craft beers and cocktails to suit the (hopefully sunny) summer weather. There will be fair-trade coffee roasters too, so you’ll find something to quaff whatever your mood.

They’ve thought about your tummies as well as your tickles, with a big focus on tasty street-food treats from a curated line-up from the city’s foodie scene, including delicious Indian dishes from Simply Veg (their paneer tikka wrap is street food perfection) and New Orleans-style offerings from Vudu Food.

Take a look at their full line-up before booking, but get in there quick if you don’t want to miss out on your favourites!`
