Manic Mugday; Brighton's No.1 Comedy Show (on a Monday!)

Monday is the new Friday. Manic Mugday is at The Walrus now, and things are getting bonkers. A motley bunch of comedians. One Mug. Pure chaos.The fate of our comedians rests entirely on: Your ability to make noise. A rubbish decibel meter we bought off Temu. Questionable permission from Al Murray to use his cardboard Cutout. It’s Brighton’s #1 Monday night cult phenomenon. It’s non-profit, high-stakes, and £4 cheaper than a Guinness. A mush of pro-acts, amateurs, and absolute carnage.

Tom Houghton: Deep

After a phenomenal, sold-out, international tour. Plus, a second round of supporting Milton Jones. The man who asked us, “Do you ski?” is turning everything upside down and asking, “Do you scuba?” In a world full of relentless click bate, online distractions, and brain rotting content, Tom’s racing brain finally became too much for him. Having left the Western world behind, Tom found himself in Indonesia where he plunged into a journey of self-discovery. He submerged himself as far down in the ocean as possible, while asking the most profound questions of what truly makes someone who they are. And now he’s bringing his discoveries to you. It’s time to go “Deep” As seen on Netflix, Comedy Central and host of Very British Problems. Age 14+
