Sussex comedy show organiser looks to open new entertainment venue in Worthing town centre

Adam Scott, director of 3 Word Group, has applied to Worthing Borough Council for permission to change the use of first-floor offices at Global House, in Portland Square, to Sui Generis, specifically for use as a live comedy / entertainment venue by The Comedy Rooms.

The company already runs The Comedy Rooms shows at various venues, including the Guildbourne Centre in Worthing and Wick Football Club.

In the application, Mr Scott states: "The Comedy Rooms is a well-established entertainment brand delivering high-quality comedy nights across West Sussex.

"The proposed venue will enhance Worthing’s cultural offering, support the evening economy, and activate a soon to be vacant commercial space."

The site is currently occupied by law firm WMC Legal LLP but the solicitors are vacating the premises on September 21. No structural alterations have been made since its original office fit-out.

The proposal involves internal refurbishment only. Opening hours are given as 5pm to 11pm daily.
