The Musical Comedy Awards Final always throws up an interesting line-up and this year’s final was no exception. After silver-quiffed compere Rob Deering’s high-energy warm-up - I love his acid house-style coffee song but I can’t get it out of my head now – the six acts showed that the definition of what constitutes musical comedy these days is very wide indeed.
The finalists in this year’s Musical Comedy Awards have been announced today. They are Rebecca Humphries, DW, Gatis Kandis, Luke Courtier, Baron Fingolfin and Peter Bazely.
This year's final takes place at the Bloomsbury Theatre on April 10. Special guests at the final will be Cassetteboy and Rachel Parris and Rob Deering will compere. Humphries (pictured) is probably the best known of the finalists. Her Edinburgh show Dizney Rascal played to full houses and received consistently favourable reviews.
