As voting fever sweeps the city tomorrow, a number of performers will be hoping their shows tick all the right boxes.

The election-themed performances will take place on the most politically important night of the year.

While the votes are being counted audiences can enjoy a variety of different takes on the subject which has kept the nation talking for months.

One performance has even received an endorsement from the former deputy prime minister.

The Glue Gun ‘91 team, who will be taking part in an Election Night Special, managed to track down John Prescott on the campaign trail in Brighton.

After signing their poster, Mr Prescott wrote to his 18,000 followers on Twitter: “Anyone fancy going to a club on election night in Brighton?” He also uploaded a picture of the signed poster.

The free event at The Victory Inn in Brighton takes place at 8pm and will review the highlights and lowlights of the election campaign and provide some of the political titbits you never knew you wanted to find out about.

An improvised performance, Without Planning Permission (Actors v Spectators), will keep audience members on the edge of their seats as 15 fictional characters respond to the election as the nation votes and exit polls are released.

Spectators will sit at tables in the Hanbury Club in St George’s Road, Brighton, which represent different locations, including the deck of a ship, the House of Commons and a war zone.

As the general election takes place, a story will emerge from each character and spectators can choose to either be passive and observe or to engage and influence events.

In a second performance on Friday, the same 15 characters will react to the results of the election. Entry is between 7.30pm and 9.30pm and tickets cost £10, with concessions £8.

Election night will also include some laughs.

Stand-up comedian Andrew Maxwell, described as a “social commentator and political protagonist”, will provide a show full of juicy election material at Komedia in Gardner Street at 8.30pm. Tickets cost £12.

Jewish comedian Ivor Dembina will present This Is Not A Subject For Comedy, which has been performed at the Houses of Parliament.

The show from Laughing Horse at the Quadrant in Queen’s Road will tackle the conflict in the Middle East.

Admission is free and the show, which runs every night until Sunday, starts at 6.30pm.

There will also be an Election Night Special from Laughing Horse Comedy at the Quadrant at 9pm.
