Sixty television and radio programmes shortlisted in the Comedy.co.uk Awards 2021 have been revealed.
All programmes - six each across ten categories - are now in the running for the title of Comedy Of The Year.
The Comedy.co.uk Awards shortlists were decided by a public vote of every new British comedy TV and radio programme broadcast last year. Running over the previous week, the voting process saw comedy fans picking their favourite shows from a list of 371 nominees.
This is the 16th year British Comedy Guide has run its annual awards. The final round of voting is now open, and will run until the end of Sunday 30th January. The winners will be determined entirely by the public vote, with no jury, weighting, or other mechanism involved.
Nominees can be seen listed below, or viewed by taking part in the vote.
