everyone.
We pride ourselves on supporting local, national and international comedians through all stages of their careers and are pleased to welcome back many returning acts to the festival. Nottingham’s comedy scene has been growing dramatically over the past few years and the festival is very proud to be showcasing many great examples. Local improv groups: Rhymes Against Humanity and MissImp. Stand-ups: Jon Pearson, Scott Bennett, Friz Frizzle, Edi Johnston, Katie Mitchell, Jay Sandhu, Benny Shakes, Tommy Tomski, John Morris and many more. Nottingham truly is becoming a city of comedy.
Look out for a few specialist shows taking part this year for the first time. Including: The Immaculate Collection – a show featuring an evening of clean comedy. The Comedy Roast Battle – comedians battling against each other Schools Out Comedy Club – a comedy show suitable for children. A Political Brunch – a political chat show live on stage with comedians
But that’s not all, top names such as Mark Thomas, Scott Bennett, Harriet Kemsley, Juliette Burton and Britain’s Got Talent star Nabil Abdulrashid are all taking to the stage this November. With over 80 shows, there is a lot taking place. Go and see your favourites and try something new, you never know what gems are out there but most importantly, come and have a laugh.
