Surreal illustration of a small, nude adult man with a disproportionately large head sitting atop a whimsical purple, long-necked creature with four thin legs. He holds an oversized microphone upright in one hand and gestures with the other, as if speaking or performing. The background features wavy blue shapes over a beige backdrop, with a rounded blue abstract form in the foreground. The overall style is playful and fantastical.

Looking back at Comedy Festival 2025

@brightondome

Hear it from the producer! 🎤 Meet Rosie Crane, Brighton Dome's Comedy Producer behind the programming for the Comedy Festival 🤝 We had a chat with Rosie to find out what's in store for this years run, why she loves working in comedy, and what goes into putting it all together that audiences might not realise (apparently a lot of Berocca!) Tickets are still available for this years Comedy Festival, running 17–26 October. Purchase at brightondome.org Supported by Mayo Wynne Baxter
