NextUp has revealed the list on nominees in the running for its new award, the Biggest Award In Comedy.

Centred around the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, from where the comedy streaming company will be live streaming more than seventy performances this month, the new award was announced last week, with the top prize consisting of a two metre-high inflatable trophy - literally the physically largest prize on offer in UK comedy.
