Bristol
The first-ever Bristol Comedy Festival has just closed, having featured tour shows, works in progress, roast battles, local talent, sketch comedy, secret headliners and pop up events. And, of course, a comedy competition. 240 entrants sent in clips, which were whittled down to live heats, two semi-finals and then this weekend's final, featuring six of the best. And, to my surprise, just one judge – me in a special seat and my own table on the side of the sold out room...
The winner of the Bristol Comedy Competition at the Bristol Comedy Festival has been announced.
240 entries who sent in clips were whittled down to heats and then two semi-finals, followed by a final feauring six acts at Bristol Folk House on Friday night.
And the winner is JoJo Maberly (pictured), who impressed the judge (me) with her mix of looped sound effects, quirky songs and stories about growing up in the same village as Ed Sheeran.
Second place went to Maddie Coombes.
After a two year delay, the launch of a brand-new Comedy Festival in the heart of Bristol is finally set to take place in Spring 2022.
The one-day event will run across three venues on Sunday 15th May and feature over 24 hours worth of Fringe comedy previews from the likes of Rosie Jones, Stuart Goldsmith, and Helen Bauer.
