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, Daniel has quickly established himself as a powerhouse performer, regularly playing top-tier UK clubs including Just the Tonic, Chuckl Comedy and Anglia Comedy. Known for a commanding stage presence that matches veterans of the industry, *Jockanory* offers comedy fans an exclusive, intimate look at a master storyteller crafting his next hit hour.
Promoters and critics alike have praised Daniel's undeniable momentum:
* *"Kevin is devastatingly funny, with a mix of relatable stories and crowd work that just keep the laughs coming again and again."* — Juice Comedy
* *"He has a natural ability to fill a room with laughter, he's a genuinely funny guy."* — Just the Tonic
* *"Headline quality hilarious... excels in front of a live comedy club audience."* — Buzz Comedy
Audiences are advised to book early, as work-in-progress spaces are strictly limited to preserve the intimate, conversational energy of the room.
AGE RECOMMENDATION: 15+
Comedy Style: Stand Up
Presented by NCF Comedy as part of the Nottingham Comedy Festival
