Stand-up comedy show with Jack King and Ben Davis at the Nottingham Comedy Festival.
Jack King and Ben Davis are sharing a bill at The Cock & Hoop on Saturday 7 November, as part of the Nottingham Comedy Festival 2026. It's a double bill, so you'll get two sets in one night rather than one long show. The whole thing runs for about an hour, and it's split between the two of them.
Jack King is the high-energy half of the pairing, known for a magnificent beard and a fast-paced mix of topical and personal jokes. It's good-natured stuff with a bit of a naughty streak, and he's not just sticking to the punchlines — he's got a singing voice and a stage presence that's hard to miss. Reviews have called him a rising star of the circuit, and that boundless energy is a good way to describe how he works a room.
Ben Davis is billed as a fellow rising star, though his material takes a different route. He builds epic tales out of the smallest things — mild pins and needles, epic weight gain, and tongue hair — and delivers them with a friendly presence. He presents himself as someone who is absolutely definitely a normal functioning adult human being, which is usually the first sign that you're in for a bit of a ride.

Between the two, you've got King's high-energy, singing, slightly naughty set and Davis's slow-burn stories about the mundane. It's a good contrast for one night, and since it's part of the Nottingham Comedy Festival, it's one of several comedy shows running across the city that weekend. The show starts at 7:10pm at The Cock & Hoop, 25 High Pavement, NG1 1HE, and tickets are £0.00, which includes the booking fee.
