Edinburgh Fringe comedy awards
Comedian can win various awards at the Edinburgh Festival.
Edinburgh Comedy Awards
Established in 1981 as the Perrier Awards, this is the biggest prize a comedian can win at the Edinburgh Festival.
(ISH) Edinburgh Comedy Awards
For a period of time in 2023 it looked like the main awards might not be going ahead, so these alternative prizes were created.
The Malcolm Hardee Awards
The Malcolm Hardee Awards aim to celebrate and promote the spirit of madcap, anything-goes comedy anarchy at the festival.
Comedians' Choice Awards
The Comedians' Choice Awards are the only Edinburgh Fringe prizes determined solely by performers. All comedy shows performing at each year's Fringe are invited to vote on who the three prizes should go to. Every person and show is eligible.
Comedy Poster Awards
These awards recognise the best comedy artwork and poster design on show at the Edinburgh Festival.
Amused Moose

Dave's Joke Of The Fringe
An award for the best one-liner contained with a comedy show at the festival.

The Gilded Balloon's long-running competition for new acts. Maisie Adam, Aisling Bea, Ivo Graham, Tom Allen, Peter Kay and Lee Mack are amongst the previous winners.
NextUp's Biggest Award in Comedy
