Nottingham Comedy Festival is an annual festival held in Nottingham, England, each November. It started in 2009 with 50 acts in 10 venues over nine days and each year continues to grow but continues to organise the festival and other NCF events along with a small group of volunteers,[1]
The festival aims to bring together a variety of comedy events and give both new and established comedians the chance to perform. There are a variety of comedy events from stand-up, sketch, improvisation to films and poetry and more. The Glee Club, Funhouse Comedy, Royal Centre and local promoters all join with NCF to make the festival happen. The festival's main sponsor is the Castle Rock Brewery. Over the past few years, the comedy festival have been supporting the National Autistic Society.
