Dubble Act Award
Following its inaugural success at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe, the Dubble Act Award for comedy duos will once again be judged and presented this August at Mervyn Stutter’s legendary ‘Pick of the Fringe’ review. In collaboration with Dubble, the Fairtrade chocolate brand (the crunchy bar with added Comic Relief), comedian Mervyn Stutter will be awarding a prize for the best comedy double act at the Fringe. This year, as well as the outrageous Dubble Act Trophy, there will be a money prize of £500 for the winners too. Last year’s winners, ‘Laurence and Gus’, have gone on to secure a comedy series on Radio 4.
The Dubble Act Award shortlist will be selected by Mervyn and his experienced team of talent spotters, and the winners, will be selected by a panel of judges up at Edinburgh, including Rory Weller from Metro, and comedy critic Kate Copstick. The award ceremony, with lots of chocolate available for all, will take place at Mervyn Stutter’s Pick of the Fringe at 1.00pm, The Metro Gilded Balloon, Teviot Row on Saturday 21st August.
