Entries now open for Scottish Comedian Of The Year 2007 Yep it's that time of year again when we start the search for this year's best Scottish stand up comedian. Last year over 60 comedians entered and nine made it through to the final at Glasgow's Old Fruitmarket where our expert judging panel had a tough job deciding who the winner was.
In the end it was won by Mark Nelson, who had only been performing for just over a year. Since then he has been featured in many press articles, had a critically acclaimed sell out debut solo show at the Glasgow Comedy Festival and headlined many gigs throughout Scotland.
So what about this year, are you funny enough to win? If so, what's the prize? 1st Prize - £600 in hard cash, plus the coveted Tartan Mic plus inclusion in the SCOTY showcase tour plus twelve month touring contract with Ha Ha Comedy plus a support spot at Old Fruitmarket during the Glasgow Comedy Festival 2008 plus a solo show during the Glasgow Comedy Festival 2008 promoted by Ha Ha Comedy 2nd Prize - £300 in hard cash, plus twelve month touring contract with Ha Ha Comedy plus a support spot at Old Fruitmarket during the Glasgow Comedy Festival 2008 3rd Prize - £100 in hard cash, plus twelve month touring contract with Ha Ha Comedy plus a support spot at Old Fruitmarket during the Glasgow Comedy Festival 2008
