The Musical Comedy Awards is back! Now in it's fourth year, the MCA has grown in stature to become an annual fixture in the comedy calendar and the best place to see the UK's finest up and coming musical comedians alongside some of the best established acts of the genre on the circuit. Over the years the MCA have provided a launch pad to superstar acts like Frisky and Mannish (2009 Finalists), Abandoman (2010 winners) and Jay Foreman (Best Newcomer 2009 and now touring with Dave Gorman) and created a thriving independent platform to celebrate the artform that is musical comedy. The competition has also played host to stars of the genre such as Mitch Benn, David O' Doherty, Bo Burnham and many more.
So the fourth MCA begins! The top 40 musical comedy acts have been selected from musicalcomedyawards.com and will now battle it out in the heats through to the Final at the Bloomsbury Theatre on April 7th. Judges for this year's competition include Mark Boosey of British Comedy Guide, Tim Clark of Such Small Portions, Rupert Majendie of BBC Comedy, Lynne Parker of Funny Women, Kenny Cavey of Com Comedy and Jon Grant and Paul Weedon of Red 24 Management. We welcome back WeGotTickets as the sponsors of our Best Newcomer Category and are delighted to have them as our exclusive online vendor for all MCA shows.
