South Coast Comedian of the Year is a competition now in its eighth year, run by comedian and promoter James Alderson and for those who come from – or live on – the southern coastal counties.
Your first round of semi-finalists in the South Coast Comedian of the Year 2022 are:
- Sophie McKay
- Nathan Ramsden-Lock
- David Wilder
- Alf
- Victoria Melody
- Philip Green
- Riggs
- Rae Lloyd
- Plastic Jeezus
- Kathryn Vine
- Daniel Vallender
- Stephen Catling
We aren’t trying to rewrite the history books here, as we know there are some awesome competitions for comedians in the UK (and some awful ones!), but what we do know is that the south coast has a rapidly growing number of comedians who deserve recognition.
This competition will give winning comedians a chance to make the UK comedy scene aware that they are making waves.
Come and judge some of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Sussex and Kent's finest rising-star comedians!
Who will be your winner?
