Founded in 2014, the Comedians' Choice Awards aim to "highlight the amazing work of those who may well otherwise go unrecognised, as judged by those who understand their efforts the best: their peers".

This year, thanks to generous support from Angel Comedy and The Museum of Comedy, there is a prize fund, with the winners of Best Show and Best Newcomer Awards each receiving a cash prize to help with the cost of their Edinburgh Fringe accommodation.
