NextUp (‘the Netflix of UK stand-up’) is announcing the long-list of nominees for the Biggest Award in Comedy at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, voted for by NextUp members and their panel of scouts.
The winner receives the BIGGEST award in comedy ever (ie, it's a big-sized trophy)
The nominated acts are as follows:
The winning act will receive a 2 metre inflatable trophy (literally the biggest award in comedy):
Plus:
-
an air pump
-
a carry case so the lucky winner can proudly display it wherever they go
-
£500
-
The option to have their special recorded for the NextUp Platform
Sarah Henley, co-founder of NextUp says: “With the overwhelming number of side-splitting shows at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, it’s no surprise that the longlist is almost as inflated as our gigantic award. The 2-metre inflatable behemoth will be presented on 24th August, and I can’t wait as one of our crew is having to share their bed with it and I’m concerned about the HR implications ”.
You can cast your votes for the winner (announced on the 24th August) at nextupcomedy.com/biggestaward. Voting closes at midnight on the 22nd.
The award presentation will be held on 24th August.
