Comic wins £1,000 competition

Musical comedian Amy Webber has been named Britain’s next top bingo caller.

The comic took the title – and £1,000 prize – in a promotion organised by Dabbers Social Bingo.

Speaking after the final, in which she impressed judges and punters with her bingo-calling skills, she said: ‘I am absolutely elated. I’m flattered that the audience voted me as the winner. 

‘All the finalists were unique and amazing performers, and I still can’t believe it was me who won. I’ll be putting the money towards performing at Edinburgh Fringe this August.

‘It’s my first time going up and taking my own show so I’m pretty nervous about it - having this financial help is a fantastic and unexpected windfall.’
