HOW TO ENTER SPAIN´S PREMIER ENGLISH LANGUAGE
COMEDY COMPETITION
Time to get off the barstool and up to the mic!
Amateur comedy competitions like Edinburgh Fringe’s So You Think You’re Funny have unearthed some of the world´s top comics including Dylan Moran, Peter Kay Rhona Cameron and Tommy Tiernan.
2012 turned up a real wealth of talent in Barcelona as we knew it would, all of whom are entitled to perform again unless they have become full time pro comics in the meantime (see below for conditions). They will be richer, stronger, wiser for the experience and ready to take on the next group of hopefuls who will all be vying for what will now be A Spanish National Comedy Title.
It will be a challenging process that will produce just the one worthy winner.
Only amateur comedians can enter and joint submissions are not allowed.
