The Secret Comedy Club 42 Brighton Square, Brighton, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN1 1HD

"I was at the opening weekend show in the new venue and had a fantastic time, the place was decorated really nicely with good vibes. The comedians were funny, I could see and hear them really well and the seats were comfy. I prefer this location to the old one. There was a heckler at my show who was asked to leave at the break which was really great as he would have been very annoying if he had been left there. The staff were on it. Definitely going here again"

"This club reopened in the Lanes in Feb 2023 after moving from its intimate Hove home. It's 3 times the previous capacity and a fantastic space. There is comedy at least 4 nights a week, from open mic on Tuesdays where over a dozen comedians do 5 minutes each, to the weekend pro nights. Great atmosphere and a reflection of just how good the Brighton comedy scene is!"

"We first visited in 2021, and had a brilliant time. Since, I have been recommending the place to anyone looking for a night out, and I ordered tickets to a show on the 28.01.2023 as a gift for a friends birthday. My friends don't live in Brighton, so travelled there especially, only to find themselves wandering around, for the best part of an hour trying to find the new venue. To find out that the address they had was correct, and the venue wasn't open yet. The phone number doesn't connect, so we sent an email. Within 10 minutes I had an automated email issuing a refund. No explanation whatsoever. Absolutely awful experience for my friends, and really poorly managed. I've still had no communication from the club to explain what happened."

"A few reasons why you should avoid this comedy club (and go to the others in Brighton): - They don't have the experience to know to not let two large groups of very drunk people into the venue (a stag party and b'day party). - After a couple members of this group spend over an hour heckling the comedians to the point they can't finsh a joke management still doesn't step in (but serves them more booze). - They make it VERY clear if you are late you'll be turned away with no refund, but they start nearly 30mins late. - Overall, just feels a little inexperienced, a little too hungry for drinks sales over comedy experience, and certainly over priced (as one of the more expensive comedy venues in Brighton). It's a shame but you're left feeling ripped off as we left before the last comedian (we waited to see if management would talk to the groups - they didn't)."

"Great place! Lots of fun! Love it! A must go to for everyone who enjoys comedy, laughter and a good atmosphere to socialise, super friendly owner Alex is always there to facilitate amazing evenings! You will find love to the details, a very cosy place, almost like visiting a friends place, good acts and always laughing so much - totally worth going there and enjoying drinks with friends and strangers that become friends as well. Will be definitely coming back! See you there :-)"
