ZFS Comedy began in September 2025 with a single free night at The Courtyard in Derby. What started as one evening of laughter quickly grew into a thriving hub for live comedy across the Midlands.

Our mission is simple: to support and produce accessible, high‑quality comedy nights that bring people together. From intimate open mics to packed club shows, we create spaces where audiences discover new voices and comedians sharpen their craft.

Since that first night, we’ve expanded into multiple regular clubs including Ram Comedy Club, Lamb Comedy Club, Allestree Comedy Club, Dead Man’s Comedy Club, and East Leigh Comedy Club, each with its own character but united by the same ethos: great comedy, done properly.

We also produce the Ram Comedy Festival, a celebration of stand‑up that showcases local talent alongside established acts, and the 2.5 People Podcast, where our comedians riff on life, nonsense, and everything in between.

At ZFS Comedy, we believe comedy should be welcoming, inclusive, and fun. Whether you’re a first‑time performer, a seasoned pro, or someone who just loves a good laugh, our nights are built to make you feel part of the community.
