Amused Moose Comedy's National New Comic Award 2017: Heat 5, Plus David Morgan and Alex Zane

On 11 March, you can vote for nine exciting new comedians, including Emma Doran, Joseph Emslie, Catherine Bohart, Bentley Browning, Harriet Braine, Sam Mitchell, Matt Hutson, Steve Hili and Helen Duff, onstage at Kings X's iconic WaterRats music/comedy venue, which launched Oasis in London and Bob Dylan in the UK.

They have already won through from the qualifying rounds so you're in for some fun at the coolest comedy night in town, hosted by Alex Zane (Rude Tube, Balls of Steel, and Sky Movies).

Alex introduces I'm A Celebrity Extra's David Morgan plus the nine contenders who having already won through from the qualifying rounds, need your votes to get into the semifinals, and then on their way to the Edinburgh Fringe in August where finalists battle for fame, fortune and a shiny moose trophy (previously won by Jack Whitehall and Sarah Millican, with finalists including Josh Widdicombe, Romesh Ranganathan, Jimmy Carr and Greg Davies).

Amused Moose's multi-awardwinning and TimeOut Recommended comedy nights feature the very best stand-ups on the comedy circuit, television and festivals worldwide, as well as brilliant handpicked breaking talent.

Delight not only in tonight's mirthmakers, but comedy-goers are very welcome to enjoy this atmospheric historic venue any time from 5.30pm to socialise and mingle before the show, during the interval and aftershow until around 1am.

To make the most of your night out, maybe have a pre-show meal which will be even tastier because of the 20% comedy-goers discount on food ordered before 7.15pm. There is an extensive bar with real ale, and air conditioning.

Showtime: 8.15pm; the comedy room opens at 7.45pm.
