Our Birth

The Secret Comedy Club was born in 2016 at Artista Cafe & Gallery.  Over the years we have grown from strength to strength, expanding from 1 night per month to now 5 days per week over the years.

From TV stars to the embryonic stages of comedy we have it all at The Secret Comedy Club.

Bringing a different ethos to a small club environment

In 2018 we really decided to go full throttle ahead with running a comedy club at Artista. We committed to work tirelessly to book the best and most varied stand up comedy line-ups. We have created the most intimate, atmospheric, friendly and exciting comedy club in Brighton by developing and improving the space for the precise purpose of hosting stand up comedy over the last 5 years. Come and discover why we are the most loved small comedy club in Brighton by audiences and comedians alike. Voted Best Fringe Venue 2021 in the Audience Choice Awards.

We are supported by some of the U.K.’s best and most successful stand up comedians as well as the best up and coming acts. Some of the top comedy names regularly drop in to soak up the atmosphere and work on new material or practice sets for T.V. , Tours, Fringe Shows or Club Sets. Alongside our dangerously inexpensive bar, all this adds up to explaining why we have the highest rated comedy club in Brighton. on Trip Advisor and on Google Reviews, please take a look at what 100’s of people who have visited the Club and have experienced shows have to say on TripAdvisor or Google.

Three years later

In 2019 we had reached the apex of  what we do here at The Secret Comedy Club and were finally starting to get all the top end acts that we are now known for.  It felt like the sky was the limit  but little did we know the year that lay ahead.

Award Winning Comedy Venue

After as more than a year of lockdowns we had no idea what the future held for The Secret Comedy Club.  We had spent years growing this unique experience and after losing all the momentum of the years we had been working on it we very apprehensive about the future.

Needless to say how fortunate we felt that right after reopening we got to take part in the Brighton Festival 2021. Not only that but after our one and a half month run of comedy shows for the Brighton Fringe we we fortunate enough to have been voted Audience Choice Awards Best Venue.  We ran 4 shows per day during the week and 6 shows per day every weekend so after all that work we feel humbled by being voted best venue.

Martin Warren

Martin joined the team in 2019 when he first came down to do a 5 min spot on our open mic night. We just knew there was something special about him and so we invited him to try his first MC spot. It goes without saying he absolutely smashed it and has since become our number one in house MC.
