Komedia
This May, Brighton institution Komedia will celebrate its 30th Birthday.
The Komedia New Comedy Awards in association with Comic Boom comedy club and Victoria Nangle have been going for four years now and at last I made it down to Brighton for the final. Comedy competitions can often be long affairs with producers having big line-ups so that all the acts' mates buy tickets and fill the venue. No such problem at Komedia where nine acts, ably compered by Barry Ferns, played to a full room of what seemed like a non-partisan but very up-for-it crowd.
The final of The Komedia New Comedy Award 2024 in association with Comic Boom comedy club and Victoria Nangle has taken place at Komedia in Brighton.
After heats featuring the best acts who sent in clips of themselves, nine performers battled it out in the sold out showdown for this increasingly prestigious prize.
And the winner in a closely fought contest is Andrew Fox. Runners up were James Danielewski, Amelia Hamilton and Matthew Ali.
