Review: 60 Seconds To Shine Untapped Comedy Final

On a night when ten untapped comedians aimed to smash it at the 60 Seconds To Shine untapped comedy talent contest final, it was MC Muriel Oduro who stole the show. Also appearing: AJ Roberts, Ben Sarpong, Gary Davis, Icyjisal Comedian Jones, Zara Elizabeth Brown, Jay Islaam, Jojo Georgiou, Paul Cox, Elroy Welsh, Shep Michaels.

Often, TV comedy is a slow-moving carousel of the same old, established names. So welcome this pilot, which gives young comics a shop window for their stand-up and sketches. Do you know any of these names? Naz Osmanoglu, Joe Lycett, Imran Yusuf, Lou Sanders, Jason Patterson, Joanne Lau, Ben Sarpong, Eric Lampaert, Victor Daniels, Amy Hoggart, Price Abdi, Annette Fagon, Sarah Campbell? Me neither. Most of them are unknown for a reason, but shows like this only have to find one likely future star: my money's on Miss London.
