Cardiac Comedy Returns to Brighton

Top comedians unite at Komedia to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation.

I’ve always loved stand-up comedy. After attending the Comedy School in 2000, I stepped onto the open mic circuit in London and later Brighton. It went surprisingly well—so well, in fact, that I now sell office furniture for a living.

In 2012, following my second lifesaving open-heart surgery, I decided I wanted to give something back. I realised I could combine my love of comedy with raising money for the British Heart Foundation, whose pioneering research saves lives every day. And so, Cardiac Comedy was born—an annual charity night of stand-up comedy.

Finding the right venue was crucial, and Komedia turned out to be the perfect fit. For the past 13 years (12 shows, thanks to Covid), we’ve entertained audiences from Brighton and beyond. We’ve been fortunate to welcome incredible acts including Romesh Ranganathan, Zoe Lyons, Simon Evans and many more, all of whom generously donated their time in support of this brilliant cause. Together, we’ve raised over £35,000—and this year, we’re aiming to add significantly to that total.

This year’s event takes place on 22nd October 2025 at Komedia Brighton, with another stellar line-up featuring Sam Savage, Plastic Jeezus, Alasdair Beckett-King and Laura Lexx.

So why not book a ticket, enjoy a fantastic night of laughter, and help raise money for an incredible cause?
