The winning comedians from the qualifying gong shows battle for the title of Offbeat Comedy Champion in the awards grand final.
The Off Beat Comedy Awards Grand Live Final comes to Harrogate Playhouse on Saturday 24 April 2027, bringing together the winners of the qualifying gong shows for one night of stand-up. The whole thing is a battle for the title of Offbeat Comedy Champion, so the night is built around a few comedians going head-to-head rather than a standard line-up of separate acts.
If you're not familiar with how it works, the bill is made up of the comedians who survived the pressure and won over the crowd in the competition's earlier rounds. Each one has already come through a gong show — those high-stakes nights where an act can be cut short if they aren't hitting the mark — so by the time they reach the final, they're the ones who managed to keep the room on their side. The Grand Final is where those winners face off, with the title of Offbeat Comedy Champion on the line.
