2025 WeGotTickets MCA Heat 3 with Elvis Lesley

Event Information

Now in its 17th year, the WeGotTickets Musical Comedy Awards is an annual competition to support, promote, expose and celebrate the best emerging musical comedians in the UK. If you are a fan of musical comedy acts such as Tim Minchin, Flight of the Conchords and Bill Bailey, you'll love this show!

Over the years, the MCAs have provided a launch pad to now established and emerging stars of the genre such as Abandoman (2010 winners), Rachel Parris (Runner Up 2012 and star of the Mash Report), Mae Martin, Jazz Emu and many more. The MCA has created a thriving independent platform to celebrate the artform that is musical comedy. Other acts that have featured as headliners in our shows include DAVID O' DOHERTY, BO BURNHAM, JAYDE ADAMS, RUBBERBANDITS, MITCH BENN, JAY FOREMAN, PIPPA EVANS, TOM BASDEN, ISY SUTTIE, GINGER & BLACK, EARL OKIN, WILSON DIXON, JO NEARY, MR B THE GENTLEMAN RHYMER, SARAH-LOUISE YOUNG, ADAMS & REA and many more.

So the seventeenth MCA begins! The top 40 musical comedy acts will be selected from online entries and will then battle it out in the heats at the Phoenix through to the Final at the Bloomsbury on April 12th. Come along for amazing Saturday afternoons of musical comedy entertainment and vote for your favourite acts to progress through to the next round!

Featuring a headline performance from MCA legend Tracey Collins, performing as Elvis Lesley!

She's here! Elvis Lesley is in the building!

Join award winning character comedian Tracey Collins (Shell Suit Cher, Audrey Heartburn) as she brings her latest ridiculous act to the stage: Elvis Lesley!

Having spent the last decade working the tills at Tesco, Elvis Lesley is on a journey to gyrate back to bright light city.
With nothin' more than a home-made costume, hot pelvic gyrations, and hilarious reworked songs.

It's Elvis as you’ve never seen them before!
