The Bath Comedy Festival has been designed to attract the cream of cutting edge talent and to support New Acts wanting to make their mark.
Geoff Whiting of Mirth Control is once again organising the Bath Comedy Festival New Act Competition which involves a series of heats followed by an Awards Night Final.
