Here's a bit about Noel, in his own words:
I have been treading the boards – some would say walking the plank – for twenty-five years. (More!) An experienced, very original, comedian from Swansea, Wales, who has played – and often headlined – most comedy clubs in the UK including Glee Clubs, Banana Cabaret, Hyena, The Stand, Up The Creek, Frog and Bucket, Baby Blue, and more.
As well as club gigs I’ve performed at major festivals, and gigs abroad in places like Dubai, Shanghai, Berlin, Cape Town and Canada.
I’ve done sketch shows on BBC Radio Wales, and various TV comedy and acting roles in both English and Welsh.
I am not a gratuitously rude comic. When I’m on stage I come alive and my goal is to literally cheer everyone up, if I can.
My material is highly original, cerebral, with some wordplay; some people think it’s clever but at the same time it has a wide appeal. I can also perform in my mother tongue, the Welsh language (anyone for that, CCC?).
Here are some nice things that important people have said about him:
Noel James is a lovely comic’ – Kate Copstick, The Scotsman
“The funniest joke I’ve ever heard – Almost certainly it was by Noel James. Go and see him live to hear it.” – Jon Richardson, The Guardian
“Surreal Welsh comic Noel James lives and dies by wordplay, his delivery a gabble of consciousness that skips from pun to giddy flight of fantasy with ill-coordinated abandon […] Any stand-up can struggle to connect with an audience. But James betrays the soul of a poet and accomplishes it with such rare panache and commitment that it approaches art.” – Jay Richardson
Plus three support acts including Scottish funnyman Billy Maguire and brilliant newcomer Stevie Cairns and all held together by your regular hosts Fresh Prince Of Hull Fair Jed Salisbury and Stone Cold Rich Austin.
Doors open 6:30pm for the pizzas, show starts at 8pm (or whenever we can be arsed). Tickets £12 in advance or £14 on the door (£10 with NUS / NHS card).

Cottingham Comedy Club, winner of Yorkshire's Best Independent Comedy Club 2023 and 2024 and the village’s only comedy venue, provides an unique comedy experience in many ways. This intimate club gets you up close and personal with the acts, many of whom are breaking through into TV, or are established acts from the UK and international comedy circuit. The Back Room is a welcoming venue and we have a dedicated room for the comedy, with regular breaks between the acts for you to lubricate your throats with laughter juice. With four acts and a compere it’s great value for money at less than £2.50 per comedian. We think it’s the most fun you can have with friends on a midweek night out.
