Prize includes Edinburgh Fringe accommodation

Adam Dorr was named West End New Act Of The Year 2025 in London last night

Madeleine Brettingham and Jim Hooker bagged the runner-up spots and while both Imran Hafeez and Sophie Sconcia tied for the Audience Vote award. 

Resident host Steve McLean said 'We've not had a tie for any podium place in the final before. The rules state that the casting vote lies with me but I couldn't decide between them so they both nabbed it’,;

Adam's prize bundle was £150 in cash, a week's worth of Edinburgh Fringe accommodation and gigs in Edinburgh and London.  

The other acts taking part were Mi Churchill, Ira Sylvester, Dean Harmer, Murph, Gabrielle MacPherson Caroline Gustafsson, Louis Beer, Verity Sharpe, Gemma Mushington, Sara Lessman and Rohan Ashar .
