FHM magazine has teamed up with Britain's biggest comedy club chain to launch a unique competition.With help and support from leading stand-up Ed Byrne, the search is on for the country's best undiscovered comedian. From the start of September until the end of October, open mic sessions will take place at Jongleurs comedy clubs around the UK. The funniest contestants from the heats will be judged at regional finals, eventually converging for the grand final in London at the end of November.
One lucky winner will bag £5,000 (the biggest comedy prize in Britain after the Edinburgh Festival) and a tour of UK Jongleurs clubs, plus expert coaching from Ed. Asked what makes a successful stand-up, Ed commented: “It’s really important to try your material out in front of a live audience before you try your luck on stage.
There are a few other things you can do to make a good impression. Own the stage, look at the audience and try and engage with them.”He added: “Competitions like Stand Up Hero are an excellent way to jump the queue when it comes to making a career as a comedian.
You can still be quite good and kicking around the B circuit but a good shot at the right competition, in front to of the right audience can make all the difference.”
The closing date is 10th September.
