Josh Jones will bring his new stand-up show Confessions of a Leggy Blonde to Brighton’s Forge Comedy Club on Thursday 23 March 2028, as part of a 37-date UK tour.
The Manchester comedian, known for appearances on Would I Lie to You? and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, is also confirmed for the third series of Prime Video’s Last One Laughing, due in 2027.
The tour opens in October 2027, with Brighton on its spring 2028 leg. The Forge show is at Ironworks Studios on Cheapside, with doors at 7pm and an 8pm start. General admission is currently £21.97, including the booking fee.

What is Confessions of a Leggy Blonde about?
The new show promises personal stories built around life, death and bodies, with the publicity boiling its subjects down to “Life, Death and Boobs”. It follows Jones’s previous touring show, I Haven’t Won the Lottery So Here’s Another Tour Show.
In the tour announcement supplied to Sussex Guardian, Jones said: “I love trying to outdo myself with each tour and this is going to be the funniest one yet. The more I write, the more excited I am about getting up on stage and seeing you all out there.”
The Brighton booking is a dedicated tour performance with a support act, rather than one of the Forge’s regular mixed-bill club nights.
Where have you seen Josh Jones before?
Jones’s television work spans stand-up, panel shows and entertainment. Alongside 8 Out of 10 Cats, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and The Jonathan Ross Show, his credits include House of Games, The Stand-Up Sketch Show and Alan Davies’ As Yet Untitled.
His Off The Kerb biography also records hosting BBC Three’s Fast Food Face-Off, an Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nomination for Waste of Space, and the subsequent Fringe show Gobsmacked. He hosts the history-and-gossip podcast Dead Drama and co-hosts Chatting with Cherubs with Morgan Rees.
Prime Video’s series-three announcement places Jones alongside comics including Lee Mack, Katherine Ryan, Harry Hill and Richard Ayoade. Hosted by Jimmy Carr, Last One Laughing challenges its contestants to make one another laugh while keeping a straight face themselves. It is scheduled to return in 2027, ahead of the Brighton tour date.
Tickets, running time and access
The Brighton organiser’s booking page lists a two-hour evening, including the support slot and one interval, with an approximate 10pm finish. That is the overall event length, not a promise of two uninterrupted hours from Jones.
Tickets were available at £21.97 each when checked on 26 October 2026. The ticket selection explains this as £20 admission plus a £1.97 fee. The listing gives a no-refunds policy; read the current terms before booking.
The Forge’s access information describes wheelchair entry, a flat studio floor, accessible toilets and assistance-dog access. Wheelchair viewing positions need advance booking through the venue’s access-request process. Free personal-assistant tickets are subject to the published eligibility requirements, rather than automatically included with a general-admission purchase. The access team can be reached at [email protected].
Getting to The Forge
The Forge is inside Ironworks Studios at 30 Cheapside, Brighton, BN1 4GD. The venue describes the approach from Brighton railway station as a ten-minute walk involving hills. Anyone who needs a step-free arrival route or a wheelchair position should arrange it with Ironworks before the evening.
