2025 WeGotTickets MCA Semi-Final 2 with Jeff Japers

Event information

***Bill Bailey is the Official Patron of the WeGotTickets Musical Comedy Awards***

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!

Semi-Final Two will feature a headline performance from WeGotTickets MCA 2022 winner, the brilliant Jeff Japers! In 2022 Jeff won both the main award from industry judges and the audience favourite - the MCA double! His unique blend of absurdity and hilarious material is a joy to watch!

Jeff Japers performs comedy songs accompanied by a slideshow. It's an entertaining performance of inoffensive daftness including songs about wires and the missing junction on the M4 amongst many others. He delivers his songs with an energy perhaps unbefitting of a man his age.
