Real Deal Comedy Jam Xmas Special

Real Deal Comedy Jam brings its Xmas Special to Alea Casino on Saturday 26 December, with the headliner flying in from the USA. The main draw is Reggie Thomas, an American comic who's worked alongside some of the biggest names in the business and is best known for his time on Kevin Hart's comedy projects. That background sits right at the heart of what he brings to the stage: a distinct American perspective, storytelling that lets the set breathe, and a high-energy style that plays well to UK crowds.

Thomas isn't the only one on the bill. Hosting the night is Quincy d Comedian, better known as The Cheeky Cockney, and he's supported by Junior Booker and Travis Jay. Between the three of them, the night builds up to Thomas taking the headliner spot, so there's a full line-up to get through before the main act.

One thing that sets this one apart from a standard night out is what happens after the show. There's a free afterparty at Lace Bar, and it's for show attendees only, so if you're planning to stay on, you'll want to keep your ticket handy. It's a good way to stretch the evening out past the final act.

The show runs from 7:00pm to 10:30pm, with doors opening at 7:00pm and the first act on stage at 8:00pm. Tickets start from £17.50 and go up to £90, and the venue is Alea Casino, 108 Upper Parliament Street, Nottingham NG1 6LF.
