More details

Best of So You Think You're Funny? is your chance to enjoy new performances from previous contestants and winners of the best UK comedy competition. Always guaranteed to be a night of big laughs from Fringe favourites, the show provides an eclectic look at some of the UK's most talented and quick witted comics.

Twenty-three years after So You Think You're Funny? began hunting for the country's best comedy newcomers, the competition is still fresh thanks to the high calibre of comedians it attracts. Aimed at discovering the stand-up stars of the future, it has established itself as one of the most prestigious Edinburgh Festival Fringe stand-up comedy competitions.

Each year the search for the country's best comedy newcomer takes competition organisers to heats from Bath to Liverpool, Glasgow, Dublin and beyond, with a selected shortlist going through to perform at the year's Fringe heats. The competition is trial by comedy fire, with comedians given just eight minutes to impress the ever-demanding expert judging panel. Entrants battle for a cash prize and valuable stage time at high profile events.

Past So You Think You're Funny? winners include Peter Kay, David O'Doherty, Rhona Cameron, Lee Mack, Tommy Tiernan, Miles Jupp, Rob Rouse, Dylan Moran and 2010 winner James Kirk, to name but a few. Best of So You Think You're Funny? = bragging rights guaranteed.
