Make 'em laugh
Every August a new comedy star is crowned at the annual Perrier Comedy Awards at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It's a big deal, with winners receiving £7,500 prize money, international media coverage and guaranteed bookings - for the coming year at least. And while not all Perrier winners go on to have the stratospheric careers of past winners such as Lee Evans, Jenny Eclair, The League of Gentlemen and Steve Coogan, almost all will be considered hot property on the national comedy circuit.
