Extra Topping Comedy Showcase

Simon Topping showcases the best Fringe comedy, three acts at a time. Extra Topping 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 minutes 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, The Poets Ale and Smokehouse, has created a fabulous boutique space in their upstairs room, which is quickly becoming one of the hottest small venues for theatre and comedy in Brighton and Hove, housing performances all year round. Your host, Simon, is a writer, performer, and improv comedy veteran. He has performed many times in the Fringe, most recently with his sold-out show, "Why I had to leave the North."
