Justin Panks: Five Unpopular Opinions (and why you agree with them)

About this event

Justin Panks: Five Unpopular Opinions (and why you agree with them) is on Wednesday 4 November 2026 at Laceworks at ARC Space, Nottingham, with doors at 20:40. Tickets start at £8.80, including the booking fee.

For one night only at Nottingham Comedy Festival, Justin Panks takes to the stage armed with a microphone and five deeply questionable takes. Are they controversial? Is he completely wrong? Or is he simply brave enough to say what everyone else is thinking? Each opinion becomes a jumping-off point for Justin’s trademark blend of razor-sharp observations, personal anecdotes and unapologetically fearless punchlines. Expect audience interaction, heated debate and moments of reluctant agreement. With over a decade on stage and a style that is raw, honest and gloriously unpredictable, this is stand-up that isn’t afraid to stir the pot. Come prepared to disagree… You probably won’t.

Ashley Frieze: Stupid Songs

Laceworks at ARC Space · Nottingham

Ashley Frieze is a man on a mission to solve the world's problems one stupid song at a time. Can grumpy middle-aged ennui be turned into life affirming positivity? Probably not, but there's a lot of laughs in trying. Join this comedy-circuit regular for an hour of daft, inventive, and disproportionate musical overreaction to life's most ridiculous woes. The songs may be stupid, but the comedy's brilliant. "A true master of his craft", Jongleurs. "Brilliantly crafted songs", Orange Top Comedy.
