Perform at Extra Topping

We are always looking for new comedy acts to perform at their monthly shows.

What we’re Looking for?

  • Most importantly comedy acts from OUTSIDE of the traditional stand up genre, whether that be improv comedy, sketch or physical comedy, musical, poetry, puppetry, character comedy, cabaret or just something different. See some of the acts that have previously performed at Extra Topping (add link)
  • Acts that can do 15 or 20 minute slots
  • Acts who we can either go to see or have recorded material for us to review before booking. This is not always necessary, especially if you already have a reputation on the circuit, but it’s good for us to have the chance to take a look to make sure that we put you into the best possible slot with complementary performers.
People who are delightful to work with, punctual and polite.


Dates I Need artists for:

Regular Extra Topping nights are the 3rd Saturday of each month upstairs at the Yellow Book in Brighton. 4 slots per month (2 each half). 20 minutes per slot. Show starts at 7.30pm

BRIGHTON FRINGE: I usually do a sprinkling of shows in the Fringe in May.  Here I book in 4 or 5 acts for the hour. The spots are 10 minutes. Sadly I cannot pay for these shows but it’s a great way to promote your Brighton Fringe run.


    How do I contact you to book in?

    What you get (on a regular Extra Topping night):
    • A small, yet professionally run, venue space. Fabulously run and provided by Sweet Venues.
    • An inclusive, welcoming, culture. (Sadly the venue is upstairs and as such not suitable for everyone)
    • A zero tolerance policy regarding abusive and inappropriate behaviour of any kind.
    • Payment: To try and make their events sustainable Sweet Venues do not charge upfront costs for their non Fringe events, which allows us to spread the revenue between the organisers and the artists. A guaranteed £20 fee is paid to artists on the night. As the night continues I hope the increase what I pay everyone. I take no profits from the night and reinvest it all on paying act and keeping the night sustainable.
