Stephen Grant presently promotes and books the following clubs;

• The Komedia comedy club at the  Komedia, Brighton.

Please note : the Krater club will be changing start times in March to 10:45 pm for the Saturday late and 8pm for the Sunday show.

If you wish to come and see the Komedia, details are below. If you wish to come and perform at the Krater, please email here or put a message on the message board. If you are an act or agent who requires further information about the club, please click here.

From humble beginnings, (called the Krater - because when the club was being planned, it was just a crater in the ground), now in its second season the club is going from strength to strength and regularly selling out.

Tickets for this 200 capacity venue can be ordered via credit card or in person from the Komedia 2 Box office. All details can be found at the Komedia web site.

Please note that shows start *sharp* at 7:30 pm and 10:30pm on Saturdays, and 8:30pm on Sundays, and that late arrivals may be held back when the acts are on stage.

This is a fantastic club - with great value for money, absolutely top acts and a cracking atmosphere that has everyone going home with a smile on their face.

Please note: The bills shown opposite are subject to last minute change - we do our best to make sure they are 100% correct but please check with the venue for last minute details. We endeavour to do our best to make sure the bills stay exactly as is but cannot be held responsible for any last minute variations.
