Awards founder Gina Lyons has provided this year's prize fund through her company, Gobby Girl Productions.
She says: "In the hardest year for TV and sponsorship in recent memory, I hope the £500 prize fund from Gobby Girl can take a small edge off the massive bills faced by two shows at this year's Fringe. I want to thank our media sponsors British Comedy Guide for their constant support for comedy."
The 2024 judging panel was lead by marketing agency founder Laura Burch, with marketing creative director Christopher Slevin and Director of Communications for Content at Sky, Alice Jenkins-Bruce.
Comedian and film maker Joe Bor hosts the results ceremony from 10pm tonight at Gilded Balloon's Patter Hoose.
