In its second Festival year, Extra Topping Showcases the best Fringe comedy, three acts at a time.

“Topping is no fool in bringing together the best of the Fringe... the very best alternative comedy.” ★ ★ ★ ★★ (The Reviews Hub).

The show focuses on quality comedy acts in the field of character comedy, improv, sketch, musical comedy, physical comedy, and more (basically anything that is not traditional stand-up).

Expect three funny fifteen minute sets from diverse comedic genres, lovingly introduced by your genial compere, giving you a fantastic flavour of the breadth and depth of the city’s comedy scene.

Well served by buses and less than ten minutes walk from Hove and Aldrington train stations, our venue, Sweet@The Poets, has created a fabulous boutique space in the upstairs room of The Poets Ale and Smokehouse; one of the hottest small venues for theatre and comedy in Brighton and Hove and the home of performances all year round.

Your host, Simon, is a writer, performer, and improv comedy veteran.
