Pan Ini: Saving Sir Real

Pan Ini brings Saving Sir Real to Fishergate Point on Sunday 8 November, as part of the Nottingham Comedy Festival 2026. It's presented by Club Wormhole, and the whole thing runs about an hour.

Saving Sir Real is a pun-heavy, surreal comedy about saving ourselves from patriarchy and finding some sanity in utter madness. The story follows Sir Real, a knight whose father, grandfather and great-uncle were also knights — except the great-uncle was a pig farmer, and as the show puts it, "we don't talk about that though". It's the kind of thing that works best when you're in the room, and the puns are a big part of the fun.

Pan Ini himself is a surrealist performer who blends clowning, songwriting and interactive storytelling, so it's not just a stand-up set. He's known for that mix of styles, and Saving Sir Real sits right in the middle of it. The show is recommended for ages 16 and over, and it's one of the acts appearing as part of the wider festival across the city.

Doors open at 12:10pm and the show starts at 12:30pm, so it's a lunchtime slot on a Sunday. Tickets are £8 in advance, and if you'd rather just turn up, it's pay what you want on the door. The venue is Fishergate Point Studios, Fisher Gate, Nottingham NG1 1GD.
