Back for its 4th year the Competition sees some of the finest up and coming comedic talent in the South West competing for a spot in the final to win the prestigious Jethro Cup along with a Cash Prize and a future paid Headline spot with Kernow Comedy.
Seven to Eight comedy acts will show up to present their best Ten Minutes of Comedy which the audience then vote for the Top Two plus a Wild Card to go through to the Final.
These shows always sell out and have a great variety of acts for you to see.
As always, the night is capped off with a Headline act and this year we have an absolute belter in Cornwall's own Harriet Dyer.
Harriet's seen on Live At The Apollo, Rosie Jones’ Disability Comedy Extravaganza, Comedy Central Live & The Russell Howard Hour.
Harriet’s other TV credits include Jokes Only Neurodivergent People Can Tell on Channel 4 and Movie Megastars : Made In The 80s on Sky Max, as well as Elephant In The Room, The Fringe Comedy Showcase, The 13 Million Club,and The Good, The Bad & The Unexpected all on BBC Radio.
