Welcome to Brighton & Hove’s best small comedy club, winner of the Audience Choice Award for Best Fringe Venue, located at Artista. As the only comedy club in Brighton operating every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, we offer a safer and friendlier alternative to larger venues.
Join our brilliant MC Mark Cram, comic Cerys Bradly, and with headliner Joe Wells for a night of comedy!
Mark Cram is quite the all-rounder; with both a killer
set and strong MCing chops. For over 10 years Mark has been plying
his comedy trade across the UK. Constantly evolving, usually
unpredictable; he is garnering positive reactions everywhere he
goes. A bisexual comedian with a unique take on the LGBT community;
Mark thrills crowds with his tales of dead-end jobs, his family and
being the less than grateful winner of Bedford Comedian of the
Year.
Cerys Bradly is an autistic, non-binary comedian,
Neurodiverse Autistic Excellence Award Winner (2022), Quantum
Leopard Champion of Champions (2021), an Amused Moose Finalist

performed at Soho Theatre, Quantum Leopard, Brighton Fringe, Green
Man Festival and the UK comedy circuit and
recently supported Kiri Pritchard-McLean on tour. They are also the
founder and MC for Boyz Nite, a trans masc comedy show, currently
touring the UK.
Joe Wells has made his name as a political comedian
with critically acclaimed Fringe shows including 'Night Of The
Living Tories', '10 Things I Hate About UKIP' and 'I Hope I Die
Before I Start Voting Conservative', in recent years he has found
online and live success with more personal material about mental
health and being autistic. Joe is a favourite amongst other
comedians and has supported Frankie Boyle, Alexei Sayle and Stephen
K Amos. In 2020 Joe went viral with his stand up clip 'Joe Wells on
having a non-autistic brother' which gained over 4.5 million views
across Twitter, Facebook, Tiktok and YouTube. With more clips
gaining views in the millions since Joe now has 160k social media
followers across platforms. In 2023 Joe embarked on his first solo
tour selling out venues of up to 300, this was followed by another
