Edinburgh Fringe Comedian of the Year

It’s the Main Event – our annual hunt for the best comedian at the Edinburgh Fringe.

100 of the Fringe’s sharpest comics go head-to-head for the title of Edinburgh Fringe Comedian of the Year, the trophy, and a £1500 cash prize.

Each show showcases five outstanding acts from our Top 100, delivering their very best stand-up in a bid to win over the crowd and secure a coveted place in the prestigious finals week.

Big laughs. High stakes. One champion.

SCHEDULE:

AUG 6-23 Heats

AUG 24 Wildcard Round

AUG 26-29 Semi-finals

AUG 30 Grand Final
