Each edition features a lineup of English-speaking comedians from Hungary and abroad, performing original material in an informal, social setting.

Dave Thompson – Host & Organiser
Dave Thompson is the host and organiser of the Laugh Brody Laugh comedy series and a long-time Brody favourite. A globally seasoned stand-up, Dave has performed comedy in over 50 countries and hosted the Sziget Festival Comedy Stage for eight years.
He’s appeared in multiple feature films and documentaries, including The Last Kingdom (Netflix), and is famously known as the original Tinky Winky from Teletubbies.
Known for his surreal storytelling, razor-sharp wit, and delightfully unhinged stage presence, Dave brings continuity, quality control, and a distinctly Brody tone to every edition of Laugh Brody Laugh.
“Dave is one of the finest joke writers in the country.” — Time Out
