Comic Originality: Phil Ellis
Robin Ince is well known among his fans for going over his allotted time, but for this show he went in the other direction. He started before his allotted time. I walked in bang on 1pm as is my wont and Ince was already in full flow. Corduroy jacket on. Book in hand. A few piles of books by his side. I'd not only missed some pre-gig preamble but he'd already handed out cards asking his audience to list books that had helped them to be more empathetic.
I was so shocked by Martin Urbano's material that it took me a few minutes to get my head around it. Was this an American version of Jerry Sadowitz, pushing the offensiveness envelope as far as it would go?
The winners of the inaugural (ISH) Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Show and Best Newcomer have been announced at the Ceremony at The Three Sisters today along with the Panel Prize.
The (Insert Sponsor Here) Edinburgh Comedy Awards began earlier this summer, when the long-established Edinburgh Comedy Awards lost their funding and looked unlikely to go ahead in 2023.
In the 41st year of the most prestigious prize in live comedy Ahir Shah has been announced as the winner of the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Sky Best Comedy Show, and Urooj Ashfaq as the winner of DLT Entertainment Best Newcomer, whilst ‘Show for Gareth Richards’ - organised by his best friends, comedians Danny Ward and Mark Simmons - has been awarded the Victoria Wood Award.
NextUp are thrilled to announce that the winner of the Biggest Award in Comedy at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023 is Lindsey Santoro with her show Pink Tinge. The winner was decided by audience voting and a panel of NextUp judges over the last three weeks.

The winner of the 36th edition of the iconic So You Think You’re Funny? - the UK’s most prestigious comedy newcomer competition – has been announced. Samira Banks is this year's winner.
Chris Donovan and Lizzie Norm came second and third place respectively, with each performer ensuring fans at the final enjoyed an evening of laughter following over 400 initial applicants for the competition.
New York comedian Chloe Radcliffe calls her show Cheat "a one-woman show but a 29 man show". It's a canny description for an hour in her company in which she dissects and discusses the nature of infidelity and in particular, her own predilection for not sticking to one partner. Radcliffe is more of a serial monogamist than whatever the female equivalent is of a man who can't keep his dick in his pants, and this enthralling piece gives some insight into why she is the way she is.
UKTV has announced Battle in The Box, a ground-breaking new comedy reality gameshow for award-winning entertainment channel Dave and free streaming service UKTV Play. Produced by Interstellar, the new series is based on a hit Korean format from Seoul based format agency Something Special, and will be hosted by Jimmy Carr.
