Laughter is the kind of natural high we like here at BOTI HQ. The side-splitting-I can’t actually breathe-my abs are going to hurt tomorrow kind of stuff. If you’re partial to a chuckle or two (who isn’t?) then roll up, roll up, because the Brighton Comedy Garden is coming back to the city in July and you’re guaranteed to get face ache. And if you too are suffering from the usual post-Fringe comedy come-down, we’d recommend getting yourselves tickets to July’s line-up sharpish.

Although if we were going to quibble (we are), we’d love it a bit more spread out throughout the year so that we could get to experience, you know, more of it.
