It’s the main event – our annual hunt for the best comedian at the Edinburgh Fringe. 100 of the Fringe’s sharpest comics go head-to-head for the title of Edinburgh Fringe Comedian of the Year, the trophy and a £1500 cash prize. Each show showcases five outstanding acts from our top 100, delivering their very best stand-up in a bid to win over the crowd and secure a coveted place in the prestigious finals week. Big laughs. High stakes. One champion.
