You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll never pay to see another young bloke standing up talking about his girlfriend ever again. The Musical Comedy Awards is a unique competition that celebrates the emerging musical comedy community in the UK and promotes the art form of comedy songwriting as an independent genre. Having scooped a Time Out London Critics' Choice and Guardian Pick of the Week, the sell-out show hits Edinburgh with two exclusive showcases. Get ready to turn it up to eleven with the UK's best emerging and established musical comedians from this year's awards.
