We're BACK for 2025!

The Nottingham Comedy Festival returns for our 17th year!

We are a ten day long comedy festival happening throughout November.

 We bring a wide range of comedians from around the country together for a time of fun and laughter. From brand new acts to top established names, there's something for everyone.

We pride ourselves on supporting all acts, including underrepresented voices such as women, BAME and LGBTQIA+ comedians.

New for 2025 - KID SHOWS - on the 2nd weekend of the festival the Kids Festival will be taking place at the Vat and Fiddle.

Our goal is to bring all of this amazing talent that we love to our home town and share with as many people as possible.

We hope you join us for what looks like our best year yet!

Applications for the 2025 Festival have now closed!
