Do you think you've got what it takes to make it as a stand up? Could you follow in the footsteps of Alan Carr, Rhod Gilbert, Josie Long, Marcus Brigstock, Peter Kay, Lee Mack, Russell Howard, Justin Lee Collins, Sarah Millican and Julian Barratt?
Well, now's your chance because today, Steve Wright announced the launch of the 91Èȱ¬ Radio 2 New Comedy Award 2011, a nationwide search for the best new stand-up comedy talent in the UK.
He was joined by Patrick Kielty who will present the semi-finals and the grand final of the Award, which is now open for submissions until Sunday 27 March.
To take part, entrants must submit 5 minutes of audio material. You can get more information and an application form from Radio 2 or by calling 03700 100 200.
The Award initially ran from 1995 to 2005. This year, 91Èȱ¬ Radio 2 and 91Èȱ¬ Radio Comedy are reviving the Award and putting the spotlight back on seeking out the best new stand up comedy talent, with a new format and, for the first time, including audience interactivity.
