Events In March

---

At grassroots music venues and open mic nights (including our own, where we first met singer/songwriter Dino Dini) Brighton exhibits a huge array of creative talent, and Dino brings them to the lounge each Wednesday to show their stuff

Dino starts the musical proceedings at 8, and each performer plays a set in turn before uniting for a jam session after 10pm - in which all Nautilus passengers are welcome, bring an instrument!

Tickets available here

For our April show, we have the “Furiously Funny.” JEN BRISTER, with support from Dave Wilder & Danielle Cooper.

JEN BRISTER.  Jen Brister is a critically acclaimed stand up comedian and writer who has been seen on BBC’s Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, Hypothetical and Sara Pascoe’s comedy Lectures on Dave.  She is a regular performer on the UK and international comedy circuits and has written and performed on BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, The Now Show and presented for BBC 6 Music.  Jen’s sell out show ‘Meaningless’ can be streamed on Amazon Prime, NextUp or Soho Comedy. Her show ‘Waves’ can be streamed on BBC Radio 4  A brand new comedy short, “Past Caring” written by Jen and Rosie Jones will be aired on SKY TV later this year.  “Furiously Funny.” The Guardian  Her book, a comedy memoir, “The Other Mother” was published by Square Peg in 2019.  She is currently on tour with her sell out show ‘The Optimist.”  “Her energy is explosive. Her use of space and delivery mesmerising”. The Sunday Times.  With DAVE WILDER  Dave Wilder is a fast-rising stand-up comedian, based in Brighton, who is gigging for clubs, promoters and festivals all over the UK. Alongside his comedy, he is also a bestselling, award-winning author.  & DANIELLE COOPER  Dani Cooper is a reformed Eastend comedian who specialises in delivering relatable and honest (perhaps too honest) tales of a queer woman in the prime of her life. Her pathological need to connect with strangers shines through in both her act and her MCing.  Compere: GUY LLOYD  Guy Lloyd likes nothing more than talking about himself. As he says: "If someone else is talking to me, chances are my eyes will glaze over, and I’ll start trying to steer the conversation back to me."  Apart from being a local radio host, a professional show off, and a rather minor Brighton celebrity (he's been on the telly), Guy is a very loud vegan with great hair.

Our weekly open mic night, with pianist and singer Robin Coward hosting. We're open at 6pm, with performances beginning from 8

Dedicated to the love of great music (and great cocktails, of course) the night is probably Brighton's warmest and most nurturing open mic session; welcoming performers of all varieties: from pop-singalongs with karaoke backing, to acapella groups and spoken word poets; self-penned acoustic numbers, to tuba solos!

We're rigged up to play backing tracks or link your guitar to the PA, and (of course) you're welcome to make use of our baby grand; or simply come along and appreciate the range of talent on display!

Oh, and something about Bosun Jim's Birthday as well. Don't worry, he's old.

Our ever increasingly popular open mic night!

Every Sunday we invite you to take to the stage at Nautilus Lounge - sing or speak, play the piano, bring your instruments - for our weekly open mic night!

Brighton is a hotbed of talent (naturally) and where better to show it off than our intimate cocktail lounge?

Doors open 6pm, and performances will begin from 7pm.

Admission is free, and we've all our delicious hand-crafted cocktails, great wines and beers, and (of course) some very virtuous mocktails available.
