News: Scottish Comedian of the Year Finalists Announced

The line-up has been announced for this Sunday's Scottish Comedian of the Year Final.

This is the twelfth year of the competition. It will be hosted by the voice of ITV's Love Island and former SCOTY finalist Iain Stirling (pictured) and will take place at the Rotunda Comedy Club on 26th November. 

The event attracts over 100 entries each year from hopeful comedians dreaming of the £1000 cash prize and the opportunity to perform a five-week stint at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in Australia. This year’s event promises to showcase the hottest comedic talent Scotland has to offer.

The Rotunda Comedy Club’s 300-seat capacity means Glasgow’s newest comedy venue is the ideal place to watch the eight finalists compete for giggles and glory. Tickets are £20.

Previous SCOTY finals have featured top headliners including Mark Nelson, Scott Agnew, Susan McCabe, Bruce Fummey and Larry Dean who has just recorded an appearance on Live at the Apollo. Finalists also feature in the Best of SCOTY, the multi award-winning showcase of Scottish comedy talent at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
