Jimeoin brings Ballyhoo! to Brighton and Crawley

Jimeoin will bring Ballyhoo! to Brighton’s Corn Exchange on Sunday 18 October 2026, with a second Sussex date at The Hawth in Crawley on Wednesday 3 March 2027.

Both performances are listed for 7.30pm. Brighton tickets cost £26.50, with doors opening at 6.45pm.

The appearance is part of Brighton Dome Comedy Festival, which runs from 16 to 25 October 2026. Our Brighton Dome Comedy Festival guide has the wider programme, venues and family events.

At a glance

Observational comedy at the Corn Exchange

Ballyhoo! is billed around Jimeoin’s observational stand-up: finding jokes in everyday behaviour, with an emphasis on the delivery of the material. Brighton Dome presents the evening as a solo comedy show, with the Corn Exchange hosting the festival stop.

The Irish comedian, based in Australia, has appeared on Live at the Apollo and The Royal Variety Performance. His official biography and tour site also record a long association with Australian stages and television, including regular appearances at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

The Brighton booking is in the Corn Exchange, a separate room from the Dome’s Concert Hall. That distinction matters during a festival with several performances taking place across the same building complex.

A second Sussex date in Crawley

The Hawth confirms the same Ballyhoo! tour will reach Crawley on 3 March 2027. It gives readers in the north of the county another local option, several months after the Brighton festival.

The Crawley performance is listed at 7.30pm on the artist’s schedule and the ticket agent’s page. The Hawth gives an age suitability of 16+. Check its own booking page for seat prices and availability; the £26.50 Brighton price does not apply automatically to Crawley.

Upcoming tour dates

The remaining UK Ballyhoo! dates below are listed by Live Nation and the artist’s official schedule, checked on 8 October 2026. The artist also lists Dublin on 7 October 2027, Derry on 8–9 October and Belfast on 5–6 November; follow those individual ticket links for the latest show and booking details.

Planning a Sussex visit

The Hawth is on Hawth Avenue, Crawley RH10 6YZ. Use the theatre’s own access and travel information when booking that performance. It is a separate event from the Brighton festival date, requiring its own ticket.

Getting to the Corn Exchange

The Corn Exchange entrance is on New Road, Brighton BN1 1UG. Check the room on your ticket when planning where to meet. Brighton Dome’s travel information covers getting there, while its access guide explains facilities and booking support.
