Review: Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year 2021

Fifteen acts made the final of this New Comedian of the Year competition. That's a lot of laughs and hopefully a lot of bar takings with two intervals taking the evening over the the marathon three hour mark. A quick declaration - I was a judge and watched a live stream via Nextup. It all worked smoothly and I didn't even have to queue for a drink in the interval(s).
