THE SECRET COMEDY CLUB AT ARTISTA: BRIGHTON & HOVE’S PREMIER INTIMATE COMEDY VENUE

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.

LINEUP

Our MC for tonight will be the talented Mark Cram, joined by Edd Hedges and headliner Robert White.

Edd Hedges is one of the youngest comedians to win the So You Think You’re Funny? competition at the Edinburgh Fringe at just 19. His shows blend awkward charm with sharp storytelling, captivating audiences at festivals like Just For Laughs in Montreal, the Adelaide Fringe, and Machynlleth Comedy Festival. A presence on BBC Radio and stages around the world, Edd mines the quirks of everyday life for humor that feels both personal and universally relatable. He is a regular MC for Just The Tonic and GLEE.

Robert White worked his way up the stand-up scene, starting in 2004 and found early success as a finalist in the prestigious Hackney Empire competition 2006. He has gone from strength to strength and in 2010 won the Malcolm Hardee main award at the Edinburgh Festival. He now is a sought after act who regularly performs in big clubs, little clubs, those in-between, theatres and festivals around the UK and abroad, after gaining 2nd Place Britain’s Got Talent – 2018. He divides his comedian time between gigs in the best clubs in the UK and abroad, tours and whatever else comes up, and his other time between writing songs & musicals and talking to people about autism.

EXPERIENCE
