Sorry, Ellie.

I think this competition is good news for all wannabe stand-ups and it will prove great news for the eventual winner.

I was just making a joke about Lee's suggestion that it's open (in any meaningful sense) to people from all over Britain.

This is a comedy forum, after all.

Why isn't Aaron or Mark a judge? Another website gets a judge, why not this one?

Nat you should do this. Although my guess is you already know this and are going to do it.

Are you having a blast VV?

Moving thread...

I doubt it somehow, but good luck to all who get involved.

Pleased

How gutted am I? Just read the terms and conditions and it turns out I'm no longer young. :(

Still, this bit would have probably done for my set anyway:

"Entries must not contain, refer to, condone, incite or encourage sexual violence or abuse, underage sex, non-consensual sex, offensive language, or humiliating or degrading treatment, promote racism, terrorism, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual; promote conduct that is objectionable, abusive, threatening, obscene, illegal, defamatory or libellous."

If you check out the entries, there's a guy called Gerry Howell who, judged on the basis of his 1-minute audition tape, is likely to do very well in this competition.

I'll be surprised if there are many 'better' stand-ups than Gerry in the semi-finals and anyone who beats this guy to the 1st prize will have to be one Hell of a talent.

I'll say this too: win or lose, we'll see this guy on TV.

He's good.
