“We were wowed by all these brilliant new comedians. 

“There were eight fresh comedians, who we had never seen before. Each one of them was really, really strong – they all showed lots of their own personality on the night. 

“In my view, each one of the eight could go and become full time comedians. 

“There three comedians who placed in the top three, Samantha Day, Adam Evans and Andy Roach, were superb performers – it was a tough choice for the judges!

Second on the night was Adam Evans, a talented writer and comedian from East Sussex but based in Manchester, where he co-hosts the Saboteur award-winning Spoken Word event VerboseMCR. Elsewhere, Adam reviews crisps on the internet because lockdown happened. ‘The Crisp Review’ can be found on Instagram, TikTok and now, occasionally, the stage. 

In third place was Andy Roach, who  Andy runs Laugh Hard comedy nights in Crosby. Unusually Andy started his comedy career during lockdown with clips of him playing songs on guitar. He started performing live comedy in November 2021. Andy was shortlisted earlier in the year in the Musical Comedy Awards 2022.

  37. Heya this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  38. Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

    I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative
    and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The issue is an issue that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy that I found this during my hunt for something relating to
    this.
