British Comedy Guide, 23rd January 2011Video - BCA 2011: King or Queen of Comedy nominees

The Telegraph, 21st January 2011The return of cuddly comedy
The nominations for Saturday's British Comedy Awards are full of comics you would happily introduce to your grandmother. How refreshing.
Andrew Pettie, The Telegraph, 21st January 2011Just in time for its 22nd birthday, the comedy back-slapping bash gets a transfer from ITV1 to Channel 4 and a general spruce-up. This revamped ceremony is being broadcast live from London's O2 Arena and the often recklessly risqué Jonathan Ross remains as host. His traditional acerbic opening monologue - edgy enough on ITV, likely to be even nearer the knuckle now - should have station executives shifting nervously in their seats. For the first time, there's a live public vote for the year's top funny person, to be crowned "King or Queen of Comedy". Out in the crowd, the cream of the UK's comedy talent will eat, drink, be merry, then forget to pull gracious faces when they don't win. In another first, those industry types will be joined by the great unwashed, as some tickets have been on sale to viewers. Expect Michael McIntyre and Miranda Hart to lead the race for gongs. Tonight's proceedings have been heavily trailed by a week of build-up programming, so there's a lot invested in the event itself delivering both entertainment and headlines - while avoiding the phone-in scandals and voting irregularities that dogged its last years on ITV.
