The 2026 Musical Comedy Awards: London’s Funniest Songwriters (Heat 3)

The Acting & Comedy Club is bringing you one of the best comedy nights in London - and at a subsidised student price. Perfect for a fun Valentine’s date, a mate-date, or a solo night out if you’re anti-prix-fixe menus.

Now in its 18th year, the WeGotTickets Musical Comedy Awards is the UK’s biggest launchpad for emerging musical comedians, with past alumni going on to Netflix, the BBC, Edinburgh Fringe, and beyond. Patroned by Bill Bailey, the MCA is where the next big musical comedy names get discovered.

This heat features 11 acts battling it out live, with the audience voting on who goes through. The night is headlined by 2023 MCA winner Katie Norris (BBC, Edinburgh Fringe). Line up includes:

Aadar Malik
Louis Turner
Irritable Babe Syndrome
Katie Hand
Dholpak Sheikhur
Jonathan Rippon JR
Christian Loveless
3 Wise Men
Roops
Tasmin Sarkany
Bad Cowboys
Ben Coleman

Expect big laughs, sharp writing, live music, and wildly different comedic styles — all in one show.
If you like your Valentine’s plans funny, clever, and slightly unhinged, this one’s a no-brainer.
