 ‘SUPERMARKETISM!’ @ Brighton Fringe: The Caxton Arms. Friday, May 16th, 8-9PM.

SUPERMARKETISM! Brings musical comedy & a religious colt to The Caxton Arms for Brighton Fringe.

“A comedy show that’s akin to a rave in your local supermarket!”

Following successful runs at Brighton Fringe 2024, Faversham Fringe, Leicester Comedy Festival 2025, ’SUPERMARKETISM!’ is back with a trolley full of laughs. An absurd dance & gospel music themed comedy that ventures deep into the peculiarities of the British supermarket with cult leaders at the helm. Think late-night-supermarkets, vegan cheese, intergalactic subway sandwiches, and the dark reality of meal deals.

Touring music & sketch comedy duo Dom Virgo & Matt Dearlove perform a host of character sketches and belting soulful music that tackle the supermarket from multiple angles with religious-like fervour, reflecting the current pitfalls and insanity of modern day living.

Comparisons drawn by audience reviews have ranged from:
Flight of the Concords, The Mighty Boosh & Meatloaf .

The Caxton Arms, 36 North Gardens, Brighton, BN1 3LB

Friday May 16th,  8:00 – 9:00 PM

 About the Performers 

Dom Virgo, is a musician, writer-performer, who started out in his early teens on the London DJ circuit before turning his hand to writing music and live performance. A skilled improviser of music, character and voice comedy. He has a husky-sexual-belting soulful singing voice that transcends people into a state of shivering ecstasy.
