A Comedy Tapas at Nottingham Comedy Festival

About

A Comedy Tapas, - Mixed Bill Showcase
"12 comedians, 55 minutes, lots of laughter... will that do?" The hit format returns with local acts and folks with full run shows.
A Comedy Tapas is a must see compilation show at comedy festivals across the UK and an Edinburgh Fringe institution. It regularly sells out at both Edinburgh Fringe and Leicester Comedy Festival, and has been a hit at Nottingham Comedy Festival in recent years.
Hosted by Irish raconteur Chris O'Neill, A Comedy Tapas brings together a fast-paced selection of comedians from across the country — a mix of local heroes, festival favourites, and acts with full solo shows. Each show features a completely different lineup, giving audiences a chance to sample an irresistible range of comedy styles. Expect everything from musical comedy, magic, and storytelling to puns, one-liners, and delightfully daft dad jokes.

Just like a real tapas menu, it's a little bit of everything — and that's the fun of it. You might not love every act, but you'll definitely discover new comedians you'll want to see again. And with a host as warm, witty, and quick-thinking as Chris O'Neill steering the ship, the laughter never stops for long.

Perfect for comedy lovers who enjoy variety, pace, and unpredictability, A Comedy Tapas captures the true spirit of a comedy festival night out — inclusive, lively, and full of surprises. Bring your mates, grab a drink, and settle in for a whirlwind of comic flavours that'll leave you grinning from ear to ear.

With four dates to choose from, make sure you click on the right one when booking.

With its rapid-fire energy, unpredictable variety, and festival buzz, A Comedy Tapas is the perfect way to kick off a night of comedy or to sample what the wider Nottingham Comedy Festival has to offer.
