A major new comedy prize has been announced, alongside its ten inaugural nominees. Organised by British Comedy Guide, the Next Big Thing award aims to name one act every year: the one most deserving of the public's attention, as well as the media's spotlight.
To find the nominees, British Comedy Guide conducted a UK-wide poll of over 100 professionals from across the comedy industry, asking for the acts they believed most represented the future of comedy. From that longlist, an expert panel then whittled the names down to ten.
The winner will be announced in February. Good luck, Celya and Olga!
