This Spring and Summer sees the reprisal of this annual competition -
started in 2008 and run by the organisers of Wivenhoe Funny Farm.
There will be two heats and a grand final - in which the best new acts
around with a link to Essex compete for this year's title and trophy. Each
round will be hosted by able MC Tony Cowards and feature a top professional
headliner. The audience will get to choose the best acts from the heats to
go through to the final, which will be judged by a panel of local
dignitaries.
