Come and see the possible future stars of comedy at the North West heat of the 2019 Chortle Student Comedy Awards! Shortlisted comedians will be put forward for final Heats at the Pleasance, as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The competition has an enviable track record of finding successful stand-ups, with previous finalists including Joe Lycett, Simon Bird, Iain Stirling, Chris Ramsey, Tom Rosenthal, Lauren Pattison and Salford graduate Jamali Maddix, who now fronts the Channel 4/Vice programme 'Hate Thy Neighbour.'
Last year's winner was another Salford student Bexie Archer, with runner-up James Allen, a fellow student on the BA Hons Comedy Writing and Performance course!
