Synopsis

Ten undiscovered comedians compete at gigs around the country in a bid to win £100,000, a multi-date UK tour and their very own DVD release.

Champion

Pat Monahan, who was a warm-up man for The Paul O'Grady Show replacing Andy Collins.

Probably the most successful is semi-finalist Ellie Taylor, while finalist Tiff Stevenson is a familiar face on panel shows, and Alfie Moore has his own Radio 4 series It's a Fair Cop. Prince Abdi, Stuart Goldsmith, Rudi Lickwood, Ignacio Lopez, Dan Mitchell and the champion Patrick Monahan all continue to play the comedy circuit, and Cole Parker is an actor.

Jimmy Tarbuck
Bob Mortimer
Ross Noble
Jo Brand
