Our longest-standing and most successful comedy night, Funny Women Live in Brighton, takes place at Komedia Brighton, showcasing the very best in new female-identifying and non-binary comedy talent. Featuring acts from the Funny Women Awards, the professional circuit and nurturing new and upcoming talent.
The fantastic Ali Jay is our resident Brighton producer, and is the powerhouse behind these regular Brighton nights. Here is the sensational, hand-picked line up she’s put together for Saturday, 26th September!
Meet your MC for the evening…
New Jerseyite Leslie Gold is an astute observational comedian, a warm and welcoming MC, and a compelling storyteller who has been compared to George Carlin and Hannah Gadsby.
A diverse line up featuring…
Bringing sharp observations, relatable stories and a distinctly down-to-earth perspective to the stage, Kate Penfield has performed all over the country for Haven Holidays and appeared on comedy radio shows.
Sue Hicks is growing older and doesn’t care who knows it. To get things off her (rapidly descending) chest she commits anything that hacks her off to comic verse.
Jess Barry: a newcomer and rising star of the Brighton Comedy Circuit
Headlined by …
Monica Gaga is a British-born Black African queer host, improviser, facilitator, maker, and performer. A regular with the legendary ‘Comedy Store Players’, Monica is a cast member and producer of ‘HELL YEAH!’, a bold and brilliant queer improv collective.

“Funny Women had the right ingredients for an inclusive and entertaining evening that provided a safe space for those who needed to express themselves freely, whether on stage or in the audience. Make sure you check them out every month as the line-up is different each time, but one thing is certain. You are guaranteed full-blown fun, entertainment and lots of sparkling energy” Theatre in Brighton
