ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ New Comedy Award 2012: Liverpool heat
We bring you the highlights and biggest laughs from the third heat in Liverpool.
We took Liverpool's Baby Blue venue by storm on August 28, presenting ten new stand-ups for the pleasure of a live audience and judges Steve Bennett (Chortle), Alison Vernon-Smith (Executive Producer), Lianne Coop (Producer) and special guest Mick Ferry. The show was hosted by Andrew Ryan.
In keeping with the city's well-documented cultural history, we've featured the music of some of Liverpool's critically-acclaimed musical exports, The Coral, The Zutons and The La's.
At the end of the heats, two runners-up will be selected by the judges to go straight through one of our two semi-finals. Eight more runners-up will be chosen to compete online in a wildcard vote, where you'll be able to watch more footage of each performer and vote for who you think deserves a place in the semi-final. Voting will open once all the heats have taken place on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 2 website.
Acts: Will Seaward, James Harris, Glenn Moore, Liam Withnail, Stuart Mitchell, Rob Gilroy, Steph Peart, David Reilly, Lee Peart, Jamie Dalgleish
Compere: Andrew Ryan
