Kicking everything off in style, the Opening Night Gala is without question the biggest event of the Brighton Comedy Festival.

Not only a showcase of the best comedy acts in Britain, the show is also a fund-raiser for HIV/Aids charity Sussex Beacon.

Starring Jack Dee, Julian Clary, Four Poofs And A Piano, Alan Carr, Adam Hills, Jeremy Hardy, Sarah Kendall, Fred McAuley and others, the gala is a guaranteed sell-out.
