The Joker
The return of an old favourite. The Joker is a 50 seater in the popular London Road area. Just don’t mention Batman.
2 Preston Rd, Brighton, BN1 4QF
The Joker, it once had the perfect name for a comedy venue.
We ran shows at The Joker back in 2013 for 6 years, then we moved on as the management were weird. It’s first year being a Fringe venue. Upstairs at the Joker is made for stand-up—intimate, well-lit, and designed to keep the energy in the room.
The Jokers old name is also the perfect name for a comedy venue as it was once called ‘The Mirth’s Arms’
Whether you’re previewing a show, testing new material, or just looking for a great space to perform, it’s an ideal setup for both comedians and audiences. Come see what all the fuss is about.
The old name thing was a lie btw. Ben thought it’d be funny,
Come for the Comedy Stay For The Pub
The Joker isn’t just another pub—it’s a Brighton institution. Regularly ranked as one of the best places for food, drink, and atmosphere in the city, it’s got the reputation to draw a crowd. If you’re bringing your show here, you’re performing in a venue known for top-tier entertainment and a cracking night out.
