Trans*Atlantic - Brighton Fringe
Trans*Atlantic
Nominated last year for Best New Show, Trans*Atlantic is back at Brighton Fringe on tour!

Join the acclaimed transgender American comedian Dian Cathal at the Komedia on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026 for the Brighton stop of his international tour.

Cathal (As seen on BBC, Apple TV, HBO) presents his explosive, 5-star reviewed hour of stand-up exploring the messy crossroads of identity, culture, and politics. Which is it: Americans or trans people the British dislike more?

Hailed as "Combative, clever, and very, very charming" (Reviews Hub), Trans*Atlantic uses razor-sharp wit to dissect the cultural tension between his New York roots and his life as a "gender immigrant" in the UK. Set against a backdrop of global chaos, this is vital, fearless, and necessary comedy.

It's a powerhouse hour blending sharp political takes with hilarious personal anecdotes.

What: Dian Cathal: Trans*Atlantic When: Saturday, May 2nd, 2026 Where: Komedia, Brighton
