Bron Lewis brings ‘Brutal’ to Leeds on her debut UK tour

Australian comedian Bron Lewis is heading to Leeds with her first UK and Ireland headline tour. Her new show, Brutal, is booked for City Varieties Music Hall on 19 August 2027, bringing her sharply observed take on family life and everyday frustrations to the historic venue.

Key takeaways

• Bron Lewis will perform Brutal at Leeds City Varieties Music Hall on 19 August 2027.

• The date is part of her debut UK and Ireland headline tour.

• The artist presale is scheduled for 11am GMT on 10 November 2026; general sale begins at noon on 11 November.

• Lewis is known for online comedy videos, television appearances and her memoir, I’m Not Mad (Anymore).

What to expect from Brutal

Lewis’s new hour mines the less polished side of mid-life domesticity: raising children who are growing up fast, dealing with a partner who tests her patience and getting through the social situations that make everyday life feel like hard work. The show promises to give a voice to the thoughts she says she has often had to keep to herself.

The Leeds performance takes place at City Varieties Music Hall, a long-established venue in the city centre. Lewis’s candid, personal style should make the date a chance to see a comedian turning familiar domestic gripes into a full-length stand-up set.

From classroom to comedy stages

A former teacher, Lewis left the classroom in 2020 to pursue comedy full-time. She won Australia’s Raw Comedy competition in 2022 and was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival the following year.

Her screen credits include Guy Mont Spelling Bee and ABC’s Urzila. She has also built an online following of more than one million, with over 200 million video views reported, and published her memoir, I’m Not Mad (Anymore). Critics have praised her natural delivery and quick wit.

Tickets and London comedy nights

The artist presale is due to open at 11am GMT on 10 November 2026, with general sale beginning at noon the following day through Impatient Productions. Check the promoter’s details for ticket availability and any updates before booking.

For London comedy fans inspired by the tour, Comedy in Your Eye offers a different way to catch professional stand-up close to home. The Camden Eye club runs weekly Tuesday and Thursday shows in an intimate pub setting, with a top-secret lineup that makes each night a fresh discovery.
