New Comedian Of The Year 2014 Heats

New Comedian of the Year 2014 is the sixth year of the new act competition produced by Leicester Square Theatre with places for 300 acts. Started in 2009, the aim is to have a competition that's equally enjoyable for contestant and audience alike.

The competition is based at the theatre and runs throughout the Autumn season in the Lounge, culminating in the final in the Main House at the end of November.

The competition is open to any non-professional act that’s been performing for 5 years or less and entries from character acts, musical acts and sketch groups are welcome. The only restriction is that all contestants must stick to 5 minutes of material or risk disqualification.
