The British Comedy Society is dedicated to preserving and fostering the tradition of British comedy. We organise blue plaques, awards and charitable fundraising events in honour of the greatest successes of British comedy.
Alongside our signature blue plaque programme, the BCS is also proud to honour some of the greatest names of British comedy who are still with us, with a Living Legend award.
