Comedy Crowd TV 2020 Showcase Results

The Comedy Crowd TV 2020 Showcase, in association with BCG Pro, is our quest to find the best independent comedy to showcase at a special screening event the LOCO Comedy Film Festival at the BFI (initially scheduled for May but now postponed to Autumn). We were looking for submissions to fall into one of 4 categories – Music, Animation, ‘How to’ or Famous Faces.

We received a Comedy Crowd record 800 entries which were judged by a diverse panel of comedy fans drawn from our community. We’re delighted to announce the top 3 videos, which are available for you to watch now…

1st Place – Mini Cheddah

Scooping up the £250 prize and created by Laughing Stock, this is a brilliant musical sketch about the pitfalls of collaboration.

2nd Place – Chris Martin From Coldplay Heals The Sick

Ticking the boxes of music, animation, famous faces and then creating it’s own box that no-one has ever seen before. By Victor Hampson.

3rd Place – Jingle Bells, Batman Smells

So goes the infantile adaptation of a Christmas classic, but Batman isn’t getting the joke. By Christian Jegard.

So there you have it! We can’t wait to share with you some of the fantastic entries that made it onto the shortlist. Suffice to say that independent comedy is alive and well. As soon as we have a date for the screening we will let you know.
