We're BACK for 2026!

The Nottingham Comedy Festival will return for our 18th year!

We are a ten day long comedy festival, bringing together a wide range of comedians from around the country 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, Disabled and LGBTQIA+ comedians. This year we are very proud to have received Arts Council Funding to produce 4 special showcase shows to celebrate some of these groups. More info on these can be found on the SPOTLIGHT SHOWCASES page.

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.
