Brighton Comedy Festival! Here comes Summer and two pages full of great diverse events at which you could spend your time over the next three months. If, like me, you’ve just spent a few days rescuing the garden from winter’s desertion it is tempting to stay there. Make a decision to get out and about as much as possible making the most of whatever good weather that may come our way. Fri 2nd to Sun 11th October The Dome, Komedia and The Old Market Brighton The festival sets out to present the best live comedy of the year. With over 70 performances including Jack Dee, Rich Hall, Simon Amstell, Milton Jones, Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe, Romesh Ranganathan and so so many more across 16 days, the city really will be awash with something to tickle everyone’s funny bone.

Glyndebourne.com Diversity Sun 1st November Brighton Centre It’s been six years since they won Britain’s Got Talent to an audience of 20 million viewers.
