For female and non-binary comedians

London’s 99 Club has launched its third bursary for female and non-binary performers.

Two £500 awards will be made to such comics taking their first full-length solo show to the Edinburgh Festival this August to help with the costs.

The previous recipients have been Lauren Pattison, Arna Spek, Sarah Keyworth, pictured, and Catherine Bohart.

Shortlisted acts for this year’s awards will appear in a showcase at 99 Club Leicester Square on April 30, with the winners decided by an industry panel.

Details and an application form are available here.
