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!
Headlining Semi-Final one is the sensational Rob Deering!
Rob Deering’s friendly face belies a comic mind ‘as sharp and versatile as a Swiss Army knife’ (The Independent). Top stand-up Deering isa 21st Century one-man band, creating ‘a highly impressive one-man soundscape powered mainly by energy and excellent guitar skills’ (The Scotsman).
One of the most in-demand headliners on the UK circuit, Rob has toured the nation and the world - plus he’s a festival institution, on the Edinburgh Fringe, at Green Man and the Machynlleth Comedy Festivals in Wales, at Download, Latitude and many more.
