Now in its 18th year, the WeGotTickets Musical Comedy Awards is the UK’s biggest platform for emerging musical comedians, with past alumni including Bo Burnham, Tim Minchin–style acts, Flight of the Conchords–adjacent chaos, and performers who’ve gone on to Netflix, the BBC, and major comedy festivals. The awards are officially patroned by Bill Bailey and are widely seen as a launchpad for the next generation of musical comedy talent.
This heat features 11 acts battling it out live, with the audience voting on who progresses. The night is headlined by London based musical comedian Tracey Collins aka Feminem. Line up includes:
