Wanted: Perrier judges

Do you want to help decide who wins this year’s Perrier award?

Every year, three comedy fans join the team of comedy and theatre industry names at the Edinburgh Fringe to help decide comedy’s biggest prize.

The task involves seeing around 200 hours of comedy, then debating shows’ merits with the rest of the panel. Accommodation and travel expenses are covered.

One public panellist must have lived in Scotland for more than a decade, the other is a Londoner and the third can come from anywhere in the country.

How to apply

• Scotland: Apply via the official Perrier awards website  by June 17
• London: Details will be published in Time Out magazine on June 1, 8 and 15; the deadline will be June 24
• Nationwide: A competition will be run in the Times from May 31 to June 21.
