The Foster's Comedy Award shortlist: From O2 to Fringe?

Interesting Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Awards shortlist just announced. Bridget Christie, Carl Donnelly, James Acaster, Max & Ivan, Mike Wozniak, Nick Helm and Seann Walsh are all in the running for the £10,000 prize to be handed out by Steve Coogan on Saturday. I love the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Awards and this year's panel decision looks like being an intriguing one.
