London’s dedicated LGBTQ+ Comedy Night is pleased to announce the launch of the LGBTQ+ New Comedian of the Year competition taking place at the Seven Dials Club in Covent Garden across March, April & May during 6 competition heats.
Our event will support the next generation of LGBTQ+ comedians and provide an exciting platform for their individual voices to be heard.
With a varied range of talents and styles each competition night is specifically curated to provide a great night of comedy in itself as well as a competition.
You’ll be able to vote on your favourite acts along with the judges from the world of comedy and beyond.
A fun night is guaranteed whatever your comedy tastes.
We’d love you to come and support one of these first heats and those who do will get first offer on tickets for the Semi & Finals.
Jordan Gray who rose to fame on BBC’s The Voice will host the launch night as MC (March 20th) and will also be part of the judging panels at the semi & finals.
