Komedia Brighton – Selected Saturdays
Brunch, bottomless drinks and drag queens with enough sass to keep you singing, dancing and laughing all afternoon? Yes, please! Boss’ Drag Queens Bottomless Brunch at Komedia Brighton serves up a tasty meal, 90 minutes of selected bottomless drinks and a fabulous drag show packed with comedy, live singing, dance offs and audience participation.
With three queens bringing their own personalities to the party and a host who knows exactly how to work a room, it’s a fantastic excuse to gather your mates, celebrate a special occasion and turn an ordinary afternoon into something worth talking about.
Welcome to Boss’ Drag Brunch
Situated at Komedia in the heart of Brighton, Boss’ Drag Queens Bottomless Brunch combines a sit down meal with a four hours of entertainment. Boss is your host with the most, who brings some fabulous performers to these drag brunches. Regular performers include RuPaul’s Drag Race UK queens Tomara Thomas, Tayris Mongardi and Alik, alongside other drag icons such as Inga the Winged Woman Rock, Glew and Coco Couture. That’s quite a line up of talent to get excited about!
The performers bring their own individual styles, from outrageous comedy and cheeky humour to impressive vocals and fabulous stage presence. The line up can vary between events, so you won’t necessarily see every queen at your particular brunch. If there’s someone you’re especially keen to see, check the advertised line up before booking.
And don’t expect the queens to stay tucked away on stage all afternoon. They make their way around the room, chatting to guests and visiting every table. You’re not just watching a show from a distance. You’re part of the fun, whether you’re cheering from your seat, joining in with a game or getting roped into a dance off.
Drag Queens with Very Different Vibes
One of the best things about the brunch is the variety. The three queens performing during the event each bring a different vibe, so the entertainment isn’t just one long run of the same routine. There’s comedy, sass, music and plenty of opportunities for the audience to get involved.
One standout moment features a queen lip syncing to some of Anne Robinson’s funniest put downs from The Weakest Link. Remember those cutting remarks that left contestants looking as though they’d rather disappear through the floor? The queen captures that sharp delivery and turns it into a hilarious performance. The expressions, timing and attitude make it an absolute treat, especially when the jokes start hitting close to home.
Then there’s the sexy queen, who knows how to command attention and deliver a performance with plenty of personality. She’s got the confidence and attitude to keep people watching, and there’s always the possibility that a cheeky comment will leave someone at your table laughing into their drink.
The third queen brings a different talent to the mix, singing live with a fantastic voice. It’s a lovely change of pace and a reminder that drag performers aren’t just about the costumes, comedy and lip syncing. There’s real talent behind the entertainment, and the live vocals add another dimension to the afternoon.
Boss also deserves credit for keeping everything moving. A good host makes a huge difference to an event like this, and he brings the confidence and humour needed to get the audience involved without making the afternoon feel overly structured.
What’s on the Brunch Menu?
All that laughing and dancing is hungry work, so let’s talk food. Your ticket includes a brunch meal with four options to choose from, including vegetarian and vegan dishes.
The Breakfast Burger is a hearty option, featuring a pork burger in a pretzel bun with streaky bacon, a fried egg, ketchup and hash browns. If you’re arriving with an appetite, this should hit the spot. It’s a proper breakfast inspired burger with enough going on to keep hunger at bay while the queens take centre stage.
The Vegan Sausage Bun offers a plant based alternative, with vegan sausage, a pretzel bun, tomato, fried onions, ketchup and hash browns. It’s good to see a dedicated vegan choice rather than leaving plant based diners to make do with a plate of side dishes.
Fancy something with a bit of spice? The Chorizo Hash combines chorizo, roasted peppers, onions, potatoes and greens, topped with a fried egg. It’s a tasty sounding option if you fancy a change from the traditional breakfast burger, with a mixture of ingredients that makes it a satisfying brunch dish.
For those with a sweet tooth, there’s a Belgian Waffle served with yoghurt, peaches, blueberry compote and banana chips. This is a lovely alternative if you’d rather skip the savoury options and fancy something sweet instead.
Bottomless Drinks to Get the Party Started
The ticket includes 90 minutes of bottomless selected drinks, running from 12.30pm until 2pm. The selection includes Komedia Pilsner, Orchard View Cider, Noughty Bear IPA, Bloody Marys, mimosas, single house vodka with a mixer and single house gin with a mixer.
Whether you’re a beer drinker, a cider fan or someone who believes brunch calls for a mimosa, there’s a good range to choose from. Fancy something with a bit of spice? A Bloody Mary is another option, while gin or vodka with a mixer offers a straightforward alternative.
Staff circulate to top up mimosas, so you can settle in and enjoy the show without constantly having to leave your table. The drag show starts at around 1.15pm, meaning the performances get underway while the bottomless drinks session is still running.
Audience Participation
If your idea of a relaxing brunch involves sitting quietly and hoping nobody notices you, you might have to rethink your strategy! Audience participation is a big part of the entertainment, with games and dance offs giving guests the chance to get involved. That said, consent is always respected and no one is dragged on stage.
You don’t need to be a professional dancer or have the confidence of Beyoncé to enjoy yourself. Sometimes the funniest moments come from watching your mates attempt moves they’ve absolutely no business attempting. And if someone in your group has been claiming they’re the best dancer since the school disco, here’s the perfect opportunity to put that statement to the test.
The queens are brilliant at making guests feel included, whether they’re chatting with tables, encouraging people to join in or bringing a little cheeky banter to the room. There’s a lovely balance between watching the performances and becoming part of the action yourself.
That personal touch is a real highlight. Rather than performing and disappearing backstage, the queens make time for guests, helping the brunch feel friendly and welcoming. It’s particularly lovely when you’re celebrating something special, as the performers help bring everyone together.
Is Boss’ Drag Queens Bottomless Brunch Worth Booking?
If you’re planning a celebration in Brighton, this brunch offers much more than a meal with a couple of drinks thrown in. You get the food, selected bottomless drinks, a drag show, games, dance offs and the chance to meet the performers. It’s a great option for groups who want an activity that gives everyone something to laugh about.
It’s particularly suited to hen parties, where keeping a group entertained can sometimes feel like a full time job. Instead of trying to organise separate activities or relying on everyone to make their own fun, you’ve got a ready made afternoon of entertainment. Birthdays and get togethers with friends work just as well, especially if your group enjoys comedy and isn’t afraid to join in.
The friendly atmosphere is another big plus. The queens chat with guests and make their way around the room, while Boss keeps the entertainment flowing. You can get involved in the games and dance offs or simply enjoy the performances and watch your friends make fools of themselves. Both approaches have their advantages!
The event takes place at Komedia Brighton, making it a convenient choice for groups meeting up in the city. The advertised curfew is 4pm, leaving time to make further plans afterwards if your group fancies continuing the celebrations. If you’re booking for a large party, it’s worth checking the seating arrangements with the venue in advance, particularly if everyone is buying tickets separately.
The Verdict
Boss’ Drag Queens Bottomless Brunch at Komedia Brighton brings together a tasty brunch, selected bottomless drinks and a drag show packed with personality. From hilarious lip syncing and sharp comedy to live singing, games and dance offs, there’s plenty to keep the afternoon moving.
Boss brings the hosting skills, the queens bring the talent, and the friendly table visits make the experience feel welcoming and personal. The performers associated with his brunches, including Tomara Thomas, Tayris Mongardi, Alik, Inga Rock, Glew and Coco Couture, add to the appeal for anyone who loves drag entertainment, although the exact line up varies.
Come hungry, bring your sense of humour and be prepared to clap, cheer and show off a questionable dance move or two.
