Justin Moorhouse has announced another leg of his biggest UK tour to date, People and Feelings.
The new dates start in Little Hulton on Sept 7 and finish in Kendal on December 22.
The BBC New Comedy Award final took place today at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The judges were Hugh Dennis, Jenny Eclair and Radio 4’s Commissioning Editor for Comedy Sioned William.
The winner is Heidi Regan from Newcastle in Australia. They will take home £1000 and a 15 minute script commission from BBC Studios.
Due to a family emergency Yumna Mohamed has had to pull out of this year's BBC New Comedy Award Final on Sunday.
Late night extravaganza The Asylum, led by Phil Nichol and Kirsty Newton, has been forced to look for a new venue following complaints that it is too noisy.
Update 23/8/17: Mae Martin has been nominated for a lastminute.com Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show. See nominees here.
Comedian and junior doctor Ed Patrick had to pause his show to attend to a collapsed audience member.
At the very start of Suzi Ruffell’s set she knocked the microphone out of its stand. This was the only slip-up in an hour of excellent comedy that should win her plenty of plaudits this August.
You’ve got to have a USP in Edinburgh and Ruffell’s unique selling point is that she is a working class lesbian, not one of “your Toksvigs, yours Baldings, your Perkins.” She is not exactly like a real-life member of East Enders though. She has gone up in the world and Keeping It Classy is all about bridging that divide.
London comedian Ian Stone has started a crowdfunding campaign to raise the money to publish a memoir about his music-fixated childhood. To Be Someone is about growing up in North London and being obsessed with The Jam (for younger readers he means Paull Weller's band, not the fruit-based sandwich spread). Stone has to pay for the initial launch through publisher Unbound, which is where this appeal comes in.
It is often said that the best comedians make you see the world in a fresh way. Well, Jenny Bede has certainly done that with her answer to my first question. Bede is the first comedian to point out that it doesn't actually make any sense. I may have to reconsider every life decision I have ever made. But before then I'll go and see her new show, Eggtime. Bede is best known for her viral videos, which have attracted millions and millions of YouTube hits.
The guests have been announced for the third series of John Bishop: In Conversation With… on the W Channel.
The line-up will include Hollywood icon Dame Joan Collins, Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain, comedy legend John Cleese, model and entrepreneur Katie Price and Jimmy Carr.
