Sussex dates for comedian Simon Brodkin on new tour

Comedian Simon Brodkin plays dates across Sussex with his new show Unleashed which will tour internationally across 56 dates from 2026-2027.

Spokeswoman Maebh Macauley-Conway said: “He’s the comedian who showered FIFA president Sepp Blatter with cash, handed Prime Minister Theresa May her P45 and created the smash-hit BBC comedy series Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show.

“And now, since pivoting to solo stand-up in 2019, the critically acclaimed Simon Brodkin is continuing his impressive run of hilarious stand-up shows, with the announcement of a much-anticipated brand-new hour.”

Dates will include Worthing’s Pavilion Theatre – Friday, September 25; Eastbourne, Congress – Saturday, September 26; Brighton, Dome – Sunday, November 8; Guildford, G Live – Sunday, February 7; and Hastings, White Rock – Saturday, February 27.

“The UK run will include a massive return to London’s prestigious Hammersmith Eventim Apollo (Dec 13), a venue he sold out three times on his last tour.

“Packed with outrageous punchlines and electric crowdwork, Simon rips into broken Britain, the American Dream, religion, marriage, Genghis Khan, vape shops and wild swimmers. Join Simon for a wildly funny night on his biggest-ever tour!”

“Blisteringly funny, Brodkin has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting stand-up comedians in the world to see live, described by The Times as ‘a prodigious talent’. His last tour, Screwed Up – a fearless, razor-sharp hour, rammed with hilarious observations and even funnier confessions – was a phenomenal success. Extended four times due to incredible demand, it ran for 170 dates around the world, culminating in three sold-out nights at London’s Hammersmith Apollo as well as a headline-grabbing appearance at the Royal Variety Performance in front of a giggling Will and Kate.

“Simon is currently breaking records on social media with his stand-up clips, averaging in excess of 50 million views across his socials every month. He has over 1m followers on Facebook and over 4m followers across all platforms, making him one of Britain’s most followed comedians.

“Screwed Up became the most viewed UK special to premiere on YouTube. Filmed at the Theatre Royal, East London, Simon tears into social media, celebrities, the police, Prince Andrew, Putin and God. Nothing is off limits, including his own mental health, his family, and his multiple arrests.

“Simon first rose to fame with his outrageous characters which became household names in the UK, including Lee Nelson and superstar footballer Jason Bent. Simon wrote and starred in three hugely popular BBC series of Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show and Well Funny People. Further TV appearances include Live at the Apollo (BBC), Sunday Night at the Palladium (ITV), The John Bishop Christmas Show (BBC) and Children In Need (BBC).”
