A panel of comedy industry big-wigs will announce the winner on the night so you could well witness the next Russell Brand being propelled to stand-up superstardom!
Ricky Gervais’s support act/best mate/whipping boy Robin Ince is so worried about the calibre of our Funniest Student finalists that he’s agreed to join the judging panel for a second year: “I have returned to the student comedy award to hopefully put all these young bucks off having a career in comedy, otherwise there just won't be the room for the older people who can already feel the decay of their bones every time they take to the stage.”
Exclusive guest list tickets to the Funniest Student 2008 final are now available. Hosted by resident warm up for BBC1’s “Friday Night with Jonathan Ross” Patrick Monahan and featuring a set with our special guest, if.comedy award winner Brendon Burns, the show promises to be a great night out.
2007’s competition winner Hannah George, from Southampton Solent University, had a “fooking wonderful” time last year and we’re sure this year’s final will be just as good, if not better. So if you’d like to come along please email press@paramountcomedy.com to apply to be on the guest list. Invite your friends too!
