The Funny Women reviewers will be looking for the crème de la crème of female comics and female-oriented shows to compete for the 2008 NIVEA Funny Women Fringe Award.
Three showcase gigs will take place on August 8,9 and 10, where all invited acts and shows will have a chance to perform in front of the judges.
The best of these will then go forward into the final on August 11. The acts are competing for a £1,000 cash prize, as well as additional prizes from the Funny Women Fringe Award sponsor, NIVEA.
