Attention all comedy lovers and cave enthusiasts! Get ready for an unforgettable experience as Ian Whitcombe Comedy brings you the British Comedian of the Year 2025 – Nottingham Heat in an actual cave!
The caves are located beneath the beautiful Whistle & Flute pub on Derby Road, Nottingham, and offer the perfect blend of laughter and adventure in a truly unique environment.
EIGHT comedians (from TV comics to the best rising stars) battle it out to see who will go through to the final of the £10,001 British Comedian of the Year competition – the biggest cash prize in UK comedy.
Each act performs their best 10 mins, and you (YES YOU!) the audience vote for your favourites to decide who goes through and who doesn’t. The power is all yours!
British Comedian of the Year is open to all acts regardless of level and experience. Hundreds apply and only a small percentage are chosen for the heats. The Grand Final winner will receive £10,001.
Doors 7.15pm
Show 8.00pm
Please be advised that our comedy line-ups are subject to change. Our talented comedians are in high demand and, on occasion, may need to cancel at short notice for television or radio recordings, among other reasons. Rest assured, we will always provide a replacement act of similar quality to ensure that our guests receive a great overall show experience.
While most of our guests come for the entire show, we understand that some may be travelling to see a particular comedian. If that’s the case, we recommend checking our website on the day of the show or joining our mailing list to receive the latest updates on any changes to the line-up. We’re committed to providing our guests with the best possible experience, and we thank you for your understanding.
Please note that the show starts at 8pm, so please ensure you leave plenty of time to get to your seat before the first act.
This event is an 18+ event and may contain strong language.
