I’ve been nominated as one of the five comedians in the Best Newcomer category at the Chortle Awards, run by the comedy website Chortle. It’s slightly awkward that the only comedy awards I seem able to win are ones under the Newcomer bracket, and some people might start to question how long I can feasibly be considered a Newcomer, given that I’ve now won Leicester Square New Comedian Of The Year in December 2019, New Comedian Of The Year at Bath Comedy Festival in April 2019, and Nottingham Comedy Festival’s New Comedian Of The Year prize in the summer of 2018. My aim is to keep winning New Comedian prizes right up until the point that I retire, or even better, continue to win Newcomer prizes even beyond my death. Eventually someone will surely cotton on, but in the meantime, while I’m still being considered a Newcomer you can vote for me to win this new Newcomer award. I have been contacted by an unnamed source to say that the other comedians in this category are receiving Russian backing, so this really is an opportunity to support a much bigger fight than a mere comedy award win. You can vote for me here.
Tomorrow I will be appearing on BBC Radio 4’s In Touch, talking about comedy. It’ll be live at 840pm, and I’ll put a link up here tomorrow. All manner of podcasts are in the offing, as well as a new video project which I’ll regale you all about very soon. But in the meantime, Vote for justice and democracy here Follow me on social media:
