About this event

Jay Saunders: One Dog, One Nutter is on Thursday 5 November 2026 at The Vat and Fiddle, Nottingham, with doors at 19:10. Tickets start at £5.50, including the booking fee.

How do you rediscover pleasure after 23 years of military service, medical discharge and complex PTSD? Obviously, you make things worse by becoming a stand-up comedian. Jay turns trauma into titters, pain into performance, self-loathing into laughter. With honesty and sharp humour, he explores mental health, recovery and the absurdity of healing while holding a microphone. Joined by his partner (not his pet), Hawke, Jay delivers a funny, moving, hopeful journey proving life is worth living, whatever pain or disability you carry. Laughter is the medicine, come get your dose and support a wounded veteran's recovery

Lizzy Lenco: The Limerence

The Vat and Fiddle · Nottingham

Lizzy Lenco returns to Nottingham with her award winning comedy. Hailed as a 'staggering tour de force' ***** (DarkChat.co.uk), The Limerence is wonderfully relatable. The show delivers laugh-out-loud punchlines and masterful storytelling. Blending heavy metal, original song and gloriously daft audience interaction, Lizzy explores the psychology of love – its intoxicating highs, devastating lows and lingering obsessions. ‘Brilliant dark humour’ **** (NeurodiverseReview.co.uk). ‘Impressive’ (Scotsman).
