Amused Moose Laugh Off Contest to Begin Accepting Submissions Tomorrow

The prestigious Amused Moose Laugh Off contest, which searches out the next big comedy stars from new talent across the UK, is about to kick off with online entries opening on 1 January 2016. This exciting talent search for comedy's brand new comic gems is famed for discovering the comedy stars of the future such as previous winners Sarah Millican, Jack Whitehall and, more recently, Rob Beckett.

Entrants will be viewed and scored online by our illustrious comedy industry panellists around the world. Entries, in the form of a 90- second performance clip filmed in a comedy venue, must be submitted online by the end of January 2016.

This innovative process ensures that the Laugh Off entrants will all be seen by a substantial number of comedy industry professionals including agents, managers, promoters, bookers, producers, critics and PRs in Australia, Canada and the USA as well as here in the UK - making this competition an extremely effective way for new comedy talent to get spotted and get their career off to a flying start!

Live semi-finals will be held at Amused Moose Piccadilly (hosted by Alex Zane) and Amused Moose Kings Cross (hosted by Mark Dolan) throughout April, with the final, hosted by Mark Dolan, taking place on 11 May at the Hippodrome in London's Leicester Square. Audience votes, as well as those of our industry panel, will be taken into account during all live rounds of the competition.

Amused Moose Comedy Awards have proved to be a fantastic shop window for new talent, with finalists being quickly signed by leading agents and promoters including PBJ Management, Chambers Management, Avalon, UTC Artist Management and Off the Kerb. As well as all the finalists being given the perfect platform from which to launch their comedy career, the winner of the Amused Moose Laugh Off title will also receive a shiny moose trophy, interim management and PR if required, plus the opportunity to perform as part of Amused Moose Comedy Showcases at London's Soho Theatre next Autumn.
