The line-up has been confirmed for the final of the NATYS 2020 event hosted by Jo Brand.

This long-established New Acts of the Year doesn't have a winner in these egalitarian times, it has a top of the bill. Last year's top of the bill was Njambi McGrath, who will be performing at this year's gig while the judges deliberate.

This is the 38th year of the competition, which has developed a reputation over the years for unearthing exciting new talent.

Previous finalists include Linda Smith, Nina Conti, Russell Brand, Micky Flanagan, Stewart Lee, Gina Yashere, Men in Coats, Francesca Martinez, President Obonjo, Imran Yusuf and Spencer Jones

The show will take place at the Hackney Empire on Saturday February 15. Buy tickets here.
