Rohan Sharma has won the Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year 2024 title.
Sharma - who has previously been a 2Northdown New Act and So You Think You're Funny? finalist - used a slideshow as part of his set. He wins £1000 and - as is customary for the competition - a random trophy: this time a fish.
The industry judges picked Lianna Holston as the runner-up, winning her £500.
Abbie Edwards took the £250 third place prize.
The final took place last night (Sunday 8th December) at the London-based venue with Amy Gledhill hosting.
Hundreds of comedians entered the competition with knockout heats at Museum Of Comedy whittling the competition down to a top 14. Each act had 5 minutes on stage. The other comedians taking part in the final were Tevin Everett, Monica Hsueh, John Pape, Rob Moriarty, Eli Hart, Ibs Sesay, Mark Moloney, Jack Henry, Sascha Lo, Laura Walsh and Gabrielle McPherson.
