Stand Up Comedy Competition at the Nelson ACE Centre - 19th January

Do you think you’ve got what it takes to be the next Russell Kane? Or perhaps you know a budding Michael McIntyre.  If you can do 5 to 8 minutes of original stand up material, here’s your chance to prove it! 

Each year, The ACE Centre, Nelson runs the North West heat of The Laughing Horse New Act of the Year competition with winners progressing to rounds in London. Previous entrants have included Jack Whitehall, Russell Kane, Imran Yusuf, Rhod Gilbert and Greg Davies. So what are you waiting for?  You too could join this glittering list of comedy alumni.

The audience will vote to decide who goes through, a truly democratic process.  Entrants will be travelling to The ACE from all over the North West but we’d love to see some local talent taking to the stage on the night.   MC for the evening will be the award winning Scottish act Jo Jo Sutherland, as seen on TV.

Entry to the contest is free and the audience get a good deal too. Entry is £5 or there’s a meal deal including Chilli or Lasagne (vegetarian option available) for just £10.

Join us on Thursday 19th January 2012 for a great evening of comedy.
