Comedian
The Not So New Comedian Of the Year final has taken place at the Museum of Comedy in London. Twelve acts over the age of 35 battled it out for the first prize of £250 and a trophy.
And the results are as follows.
1. Siobhan Dodd
2. Richard Stott
3. Ian Thomson
Dodd was a regular on the circuit a few years ago but did not gig for a while after having children. She impressed the judges with a high energy madcap set of jokes and stories about her family and the vagaries of British sign Language.
Now in its fourteenth year, Leicester Square Theatre’s showcase for the UK's best up-and-coming new comedians is back.

After being surprised on stage with the award, Masli said: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha".

The final of this year's British Comedian of the Year competition has taken place at the Comedy Store in London, compered by Cally Beaton.
After over 500 acts applied and over 150 comedians competed in live heats and semi-finals around the country. The line-up of the last nine acts was performing to win the prize of £10,001, which makes it the most lucrative prize in comedy - one pound more than the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show.
In a special one-off event Dan Cardwell will be eating a three course meal onstage at the Edinburgh Fringe while other comedians attempt to put him off.
The special event is the brainchild of Cardwell and comic Alexander Bennett and is in aid of the food bank and food waste charity FareShare.
