‘They want to extend the Northern line, but I think this is Morden adequate.’
So, you’re a hardcore comedy fan, eh? Prove it.
Would you like a free trip to this year’s Edinburgh Fringe: the biggest and best comedy (and arts) festival in the world? Do you think you could spot the next Steve Coogan, Daniel Kitson or Lee Evans? And could you handle more than 100 hours of comedy in just a couple of weeks?
If you’ve just shouted ‘yep!’ three times you could have what it takes to be part of the judging panel for the 2014 Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Awards (the Oscars of the stand-up world, in case you didn’t know).
Each year three public panellists join industry big-wigs to discover the next big things. You’ll need to have tons of energy and be a passionate, regular punter of the live comedy scene. The FECA gang will provide you with accommodation, travel, show tickets and the odd party invitation. Interested? Read the full details (and terms and conditions, of course) below about how to enter. Closing date is Friday May 23 2014. Good luck!
