Amused Moose Comedy Announces NATIONAL NEW COMIC AWARD 2017: Semifinal 1, Plus Tom Ward & Alex Zane

Tonight you can vote for seven exciting new comedians 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 heats and qualifying rounds so you're in for some fun at the coolest comedy night in town, hosted by Rude Tube, Sky Movies & MTV's ALEX ZANE.

Alex introduces star-in-the-making Tom Ward ("Hilarious, bizarre, impressive, distinctive": Evening Standard) plus seven semifinalists including Danielle Leger, who having already won through from the qualifying rounds and heats, need your votes to get into the final at the Edinburgh Fringe in August where finalists will 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.
