Heat of the British Comedian of the Year comedy competition, where the audience votes for the best act.
The Gaffe Comedy Club hosts the Bristol heat of the British Comedian of the Year on Wednesday 14 October. It's a regional heat in the larger national competition, and the format is simple: a line-up of comedians take the stage, and the audience votes for the best act of the night.
The Gaffe is at 20 Wine St, BS1 2BD, sitting on the edge of Broadmead and Bristol Old City. It bills itself as the city's newest dedicated comedy room, and it's a busy one, with shows running almost every night of the week. The programming goes from up-and-coming underground acts to big touring headliners in the late-night weekend slots, and the British Comedian of the Year heat is one of its headline comedy events.
Because it's a dedicated comedy room, it's become one of the central venues where headliners play in Bristol, alongside Colston Hall and the Bristol Hippodrome. Its autumn calendar is packed with everything from work-in-progress nights to charity fundraisers, so this heat fits right into the mix. The competition itself is a nationwide search, and this Bristol heat is one of the stops on the road to the final.
