Amused Moose Comedy's NATIONAL NEW COMIC AWARD 2017:
Semifinal 4, plus ALEX ZANE & STEPHEN BAILEY
Tonight you can vote for eight exciting new comedians onstage at Kings X’s iconic WaterRats music/comedy venue, which launched Oasis in London and Bob Dylan in the UK. They have already won through from the heats and qualifying rounds so you're in for fun entertainment at the coolest comedy night in town, hosted by Rude Tube, Sky Movies & MTV’s ALEX ZANE.
"An atmosphere which is both intimate and unfailingly professional ... that deters the lairier elements of a night-out crowd": Chortle.co.uk
"Perfect happy atmosphere": Giles Brandreth
"We had an amazing night, we were in stitches"
Alex introduces Amused Moose favourite STEPHEN BAILEY plus the eight semifinalists: The Establishment, Esther Manito, Mo Omar, Patrick McCabe, Jack Gleadow, Joseph Emslie, Rosie Jones and Jacob Hawley who having already won through from the qualifying rounds and heats, need your votes to get into the final at the Edinburgh Fringe in August where finalists will battle for fame, fortune and a shiny moose trophy (previously won by Jack Whitehall and Sarah Millican, with finalists including Josh Widdicombe, Romesh Ranganathan, Jimmy Carr, Katherine Ryan and Greg Davies).
Amused Moose’s multi-awardwinning and TimeOut Recommended comedy nights feature the very best stand-ups on the comedy circuit, television and festivals worldwide, as well as brilliant handpicked breaking talent.

AFTERSHOW: From 10.30 there will be live music, so comedygoers are welcome to stay on and maybe see the band without additional entrance ticket. Details can be found on the venue's Facebook link here
Showtime is 7.30pm until about 10.10pm; the comedy room opens at 7pm.
Tickets: completely SOLD OUT (no tickets at the venue).
Venue: The Water Rats theatre, 328 Grays Inn Road,London WC1X 8BZ.
Kings Cross station is only a few minutes walk away.

Seating cannot be absolutely guaranteed for late arrivals.
Birthday groups are very welcome, but no large single-gender groups. (See Small Print below)
SMALL PRINT
1) No under 18’s (bring photo ID if there may be any doubt)
2) Local bye-laws require venues to refuse admission to anyone who appears to have been pre-drinking, so come straight to the venue rather than elsewhere first.
3) Because of potential annoyance to others, Hen Nights, Stag Nights, and single gender groups of 6 or more will not be admitted.
4) Anyone causing a nuisance or disturbance will be required to leave.
The venue (not the comedy night) have responsibility for the above.
NB: No refund will be made in any of the above circumstances, because it is assumed that everyone is aware of, and accepts, these terms.
5) Occasionally performers may unexpectedly become unavailable, so do check if you are coming to see a particular comedian.
