Amused Moose Comedy has announced the Amused Moose Comedy Award Top Ten 2016 who will compete in the Amused Moose Comedy Award Grand Final this Sunday (21st August 2016) at The Space @ Symposium Hall from 1:10pm. Tickets here.
The Amused Moose Comedy Award searches for the best comedy shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from talent on the cusp of fame. Entry to the Amused Moose Comedy Awards, the ‘senior strand’ of the Amused Moose competitions, is open to all shows listed in the comedy section of the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe website for at least 18 dates, which have not previously won a major comedy award. The Top Ten have been selected by an industry panel, including critics, promoters and producers, who have watched and scored all entries online, before viewing the long-list live in Edinburgh.
The finalists will perform ten minute segments from their shows in the Amused Moose Comedy Award Grand Final at The Space @Symposium Hall from 1:10pm on Sunday 21st August, batting it out for a shiny Moose trophy and their next step on the road to stardom, emulating previous winners Tony Law, Marcel Lucont, Celia Pacquola and Richard Gadd. The event will be hosted by Ian Smith, the audience and industry panel will decide the winner, and the award will be presented by Shona McCarthy (Chief Executive at Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society).
