Now entering their fourteenth year, the Comedy.co.uk Awards are the UK's only awards dedicated to television and radio comedy.
Running every January since 2007, the awards recognise the best TV and radio comedies of the previous twelve months. The Comedy.co.uk Awards are the only comedy accolades to be determined entirely by a public vote, and receive increasing acclaim and recognition year on year. After increasingly successful votes in recent years, we have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic brand to associate with the awards.
With two rounds of voting in January 2020 - first to create a shortlist from every comedy broadcast during the year, and second to determine an outright winner - the Comedy.co.uk Awards offer ample opportunities to target the public and drive user engagement and awareness.
TV shows, comedians, channels and production companies engage with the voting process
Below are some sample social media posts from the last couple of years. Associate your brand with shows and talent.
