Komedia:     Komedia started in 1994, converting a Grade II-listed former billiard hall in Brighton’s Kemp Town area into a theatre and cabaret bar, and presenting a programme of trademark variety. Komedia promoted the burgeoning talents of many young performers including Graham Norton, Mel & Sue, Johnny Vegas, Al Murray, Jenny Éclair, Alistair McGowan, Omid Djalili, Rhona Cameron and The League Of Gentlemen.

The tiny venue proved so popular, the company was forced to expand and in 1998 Komedia moved into a former Tesco supermarket in Gardner Street and began to establish itself as the premier live performance venue in the South.

Price:            £10
Acts:            A variety of shows ranging from top stand-up to vaudeville theatre.
