London Hogwash

This is the message that is being passed around about the BBC New Comedy awards.

Hello, this is just a quick one to say that you can enter or re-enter the BBC New Comedy Awards, as long as you haven’t been gigging for more than 3 years and your material is different from previous time you
entered. It’s a great chance to work with up and coming radio producers at the beeb and all 36 semi-finalists will receive £250, the 1st prize is £2000.

Please go to www.bbc.co.uk/newtalent to download an application form. You’ll need to send them a tape, audio CD etc of your act, it doesn’t have to be from a live gig, all the details are on the website.

The deadline for entries is 8th July

Good Luck

Okay Perrier maybe baby killers. But who wouldn’t over look that for a chance to judge the Perrier awards?

Well you can if you act quickly. Time out are holding a compertition ‘Judge the Perrier’.

Here what you have to do.

Write to the comedy editor at Time out (malcolmhay@timeout.com) with three reviews (any length) of three of your favourite comics or acts. Say why you’d make a great Perrier judge and tell them a bit about yourself.

The prize 16 days and nights of total immersion in comedy and the ability to go to all the parties and meet all the people. Well worth it.
