Our Story

The younger, more contemporary, sister to the historic Duke of York's opened in December 2012. Duke's at Komedia is a two-screen cinema and bar situated predominantly in the upstairs portion of the established Komedia comedy club.

The cinema shows a heady mix of quality blockbusters and independent films to the culturally-rich Brighton community.

We open half an hour before the first film of the day.
Due to our license, unaccompanied children under the age of 18 are not permitted on our premises after 22.00 every day. This includes films that are due to end after this time. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Clubs & Groups

Relaxed Screenings

Relaxed screenings are specially designed to make cinema-going easier and more accessible to those who may need additional support when they visit. These screenings are ideal for neurodivergent audiences of all ages, those living with dementia, and their families, friends, and carers, but all are welcome.

Relaxed screenings will show films without adverts or trailers. Lights are left on low, the volume is reduced, and the audience is free to move around and take breaks from the screen whenever needed.

We typically show:        
A new release every second Monday of the month    
A family-friendly film every third Sunday of the month
A classic film every last Friday of the month (with interval) (at Duke of York's)

Whilst we do our best to ensure these screenings happen consistently, please note that on occasion the regular slot may change. Make sure to check local listings ahead of your screening.
