NextUp
The comedy competition by NextUp (‘the Netflix of UK stand-up’), aptly named ‘The Biggest Award in Comedy’ is returning to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2024.
The award is a massive 2m 2cm high, representing a 1cm increase from 2023’s award.
From February 9th to 25th, audiences anywhere will be able to watch Leicester Comedy Festival, the UK’s biggest pure comedy festival, via streaming service NextUp.
Comedy streaming service NextUp have added three prestigious venues to their programme of regular live-streamed nights from the best clubs in the UK.
Glee Birmingham and Glee Cardiff are now streaming their shows regularly. The next one is Glee Birmingham’s ‘Friday Night Comedy’, featuring Robin Grainger and Garret Millerick.
Comedy streaming service NextUp have confirmed that they are once again bringing the Edinburgh Festival experience live to their streaming platform this summer. This means that viewers at home can enjoy 40+ comedy shows from the biggest arts festival in the world, experiencing the full range that the fringe has to offer - dank dark caves and swanky big arts spaces, rising stars and TV regulars.
As part of their mission to become the ‘digital home of live comedy’, NextUp have been utilising an Innovate UK Grant to work on live streaming , interactive features and live captioning so that shows from all of the best clubs in the UK can be available live.
Following huge demand from fans, NextUp are announcing Rewind the Fringe - a chance to catch up on over 30 of their Edinburgh Fringe live-streams including fan favourites The Wrestling, Abandoman and All Killa No Filla Live. This August NextUp live-streamed over 60 shows live from venues across Edinburgh, making the fringe accessible to those who couldn’t make it in person for the first time ever.
The Comedians' Choice Awards - the only Edinburgh Fringe prizes determined solely by performers - are back at the festival.
All 1,970+ comedy shows performing at this year's Fringe are invited to vote to determine the winner of the three annual prizes - Best Show, Best Performer, Best Person. Every person and show is eligible.
NextUp (‘the Netflix of UK stand-up’) has announced the long-list of nominees for the best comedy show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The winner receives the BIGGEST award in comedy ever.
