Fishergate Point Studios · Nottingham

Celebrated Comedian Edy Hurst (“Effortlessly Funny” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NDSreview) is so glad you’re here. And you’re here. And you are too. But talk is cheap, and in this economy, we need action. The handbrake is down, and the engine of Cheers is going chugga chugga. Take your seat and prepare for a unique act of gratitude from a man that has really taken on too many hobbies to not share them. Will everyone be uniquely gratted before time is up? What does it mean to say thank you? Choo choo!

Jamie Drew & Jenny Hackett: Queen in Orange / King in Yellow

Fishergate Point Studios · Nottingham

Club Wormhole favourites Jamie Drew and Jenny Hackett team up for a new horror comedy double bill! Queen in Orange / King in Yellow is two half-hours of ha-has that tackle titans from each extreme of the spooky spectrum. Jamie Drew is Velma, no longer a meddling kid, as she takes her rightful place as The Ultimate Detective and performs herculean feats of investigation. Watch as she unmasks Godzilla, unravels the JFK conspiracy, and solves the trickiest case of all – her own divorce! Can a cartoon drag parody Solve The World? Grab a magnifying glass and find out! It is said that reading Robert Chambers’ The King in Yellow will make you go mad, but it is also said that watching Jenny Hackett’s version will make you go lol! Watch as clown comedian Jenny Hackett dances in the chaos of an unknowable Lovecraftian universe and grapples with Great Gods of Fear and Felt in a cavalcade of masks, puppetry and existentialism. It’s order versus chaos – only at Club Wormhole!

Kevin Daniel: Jockanory

The Canalhouse · Nottingham

LEICESTER COMEDY FESTIVAL SILVER STAND-UP WINNER KEVIN DANIEL BRINGS NEW WORK-IN-PROGRESS SHOW ‘JOCKANORY’ TO NOTTINGHAM COMEDY FESTIVAL Rising star of the UK comedy circuit and Glasgow-born comedian Kevin Daniel has announced a string of work-in-progress dates for his highly anticipated new stand-up show, **Jockanory**. Fresh off winning the prestigious **Silver Stand-Up Award** at the Leicester Comedy Festival, and twice reaching the semi-finals of British Comedian of the Year, Daniel is stepping back up to the microphone with a brand-new hour of razor-sharp wit and exquisite storytelling. *Jockanory* (a playful nod to his Scottish heritage and the classic storytelling format) sees Daniel at his absolute best. In this hilarious new performance, he takes audiences on a deeply relatable journey through the quirks of Scottish life, cultural oddities, and his own personal adventures transitioning from the corporate world of "low finance" to the live stage. With a natural ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, the show delivers a warm, honest, and laugh-out-loud reflection on a man simply trying to survive everyday life unscathed. Since bursting onto the scene, Danie...
