This July, The Comedy Crowd teamed up with The Awkward Yeti creator Nick Seluk to launch an exciting new comic writing competition. We waited with baited breath to see what you comedians and funny people would come up with, and you did not disappoint!

We had heaps of fantastic entries from across the globe, just as many laughs, and probably the most fun judging process ever (and you guys sure didn’t make it an easy choice for Nick!). We’re now excited announce the results . . .

The winner of our 2022 Heart and Brain Comic Challenge is Bad Medicine, whose two brilliant comics have come in joint first place 🎉

Bad Medicine are a sketch troupe who perform and teach in Washington DC. You can follow them on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, and check out their sketches on their YouTube channel.

And that’s not all! Nick selected five fab runners up too. They each join The Comedy Crowd Top Talent Group (find out more about that here):


Congratulations to our Heart and Brain Comic Challenge winner and runners up! Make sure to check out the creators via the links above, and Nick Seluk on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook for daily hilarity in comic form. Big thanks to Nick for creating the Heart and Brain Challenge comic design and for judging the challenge, and thank you to everyone who submitted a comic and made the event a great one 👏

Now, we may be wrapping up this challenge, but fear not! We’ll be back with more opportunities very soon. If you want to stay tuned with that sort of thing, plus all sorts of inspiration and how tos for creators, then get yourself signed up to The Comedy Crowd’s free weekly newsletter.
