Jordan Brookes adds Brighton to his tour
Brookes will take The Part Of You That’s Always Screaming to Komedia on 17 October, as part of the Brighton Dome Comedy Festival. The event is presented in collaboration with Komedia and adds a major south-coast date to the comedian’s UK tour.
For London comedy fans, it is a strong reminder that standout live comedy is not limited to the capital’s biggest venues. At Comedy in Your Eye, audiences can similarly catch professional, award-winning comedians in an intimate pub setting, with weekly Tuesday and Thursday shows at The Camden Eye.
A show built around an everyday shock
The genre-defying performance centres on what Brookes describes as an “absolutely shocking” incident on a train. Rather than simply recounting the experience, he examines it for an hour and turns a familiar, everyday situation into the foundation for a full comedy show.
That combination of sharp observation and unusual subject matter is a natural fit for comedy fans who enjoy discovering performers with a distinctive point of view. Like the top-tier acts featured at Comedy in Your Eye, Brookes brings a style that feels made for a live room rather than a passive night in front of a screen.
Brookes celebrates his eighth show
Brookes said he was excited to return to Brighton, praising the city’s enthusiastic audiences and joking about reaching his eighth show. He also thanked the people who continue to support his work, saying he was grateful to have a fanbase interested in seeing what he creates next.
The comedian is the longest-reigning holder of the Edinburgh Comedy Award. His television credits include The Russell Howard Show, The Mash Report, Avoidance and Alice and Steve.
Why the Brighton date matters
The new date offers audiences a chance to see a critically acclaimed act in a welcoming, live setting after his Edinburgh success. That sense of access is central to the Comedy in Your Eye experience too: a safe, positive and inclusive space where adults can see professional comedians without the price or formality associated with larger venues.
With its intimate atmosphere and high-calibre line-ups, the Camden club is another option for Londoners wanting an energetic night of stand-up and the thrill of discovering their next favourite comedian.
