Entries now open

Entries have opened for the Amused Moose Comedy Award for the best Edinburgh Fringe show from a ‘TV-ready’ act – two months before the start of the festival.

There’s no cash prize for the event, but boasting rights and the chance to be seen by industry bigwigs at the final on August 21 in Edinburgh.

The competition is seeking ‘relatively unknown comedy performers who consider themselves, and what they are doing, to be television/broadcast-ready’. 

Last year the title went to Tania Edwards, pictured, with other previous winners including Richard Gadd, Marcel Lucont, Tony Law, Larry Dean and The Kagools 

Entrants have to submit a video of their full show in preview by midnight on July 28, the Sunday before the Fringe. The full rules and entry conditions are here.
