Grinstock Comedy
ENTRY
from £6.50
WHERE
East Grinstead
What it’s like
Sit-down comedy shows with food and drink at the table, running at venues including the University of Sussex and Saltdean Lido.
This one is comedy watched from a table rather than a standing crowd, with food and drinks part of the deal rather than an afterthought. The University of Sussex shows list a straightforward £6.50 for a standard adult ticket, or £10 if you add food to that, which is a fair swap if you'd rather not queue at the bar mid-set.
Saltdean Lido runs the pricier end of things, £16 in advance for a standard adult ticket and £18 if you leave it to the door, so booking ahead saves you a couple of quid for no extra effort. There's a discount rate of £14.50 for OAP, NHS, NUS, police, fire, ambulance and carers, which is a decent chunk off if you qualify.
Kids comedy shows are part of the listing too, watched table-seated with food and drinks rather than the usual rows of chairs. Office hours for enquiries run Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm, which is handy if you want to sort tickets over a phone call rather than online.
The two venues have quite different personalities, a university setting versus a lido, so it's worth picking the one that suits your evening rather than assuming they're interchangeable.
