2027 WeGotTickets Musical Comedy Awards Semi-Final Two with Sam Hickman

Now in its 19th year, the WeGotTickets Musical Comedy Awards is the UK’s premier showcase for emerging musical comedy talent.

Past finalists and winners include Abandoman, Rachel Parris, Adam Kay, Mae Martin, Jay Foreman and Jazz Emu.

Who will win the 2027 WeGotTickets Musical Comedy Awards? Join us at the beautiful Phoenix in Oxford Circus for six Saturday afternoons of hilarious musical comedy! If you enjoy the comedy of Bill Bailey, Tim Minchin and Flight of the Conchords, then this is the show for you!

Grab yourself a drink and some delicious Phoenix food before watching ten acts deliver six minutes of their finest musical comedy material. Once all the acts have performed, our judges and audience vote for their favourite six to go through to the next round. We then round off the afternoon with a set from our headliner.

The Phoenix shows are hosted by resident MCA MC Nick Horseman, one half of our 2010 runners-up, Horse and Louis.

Book yourself in for the annual celebration of the UK’s best musical comedians!

Headlined by the fantastic Sam Hickman!
