It takes a lotta balls and a lotta sass to make it to the quarterfinals of New Comedian of the Year. Of the 300 comedians who set out on the quest, only the sharpest remain. Now it’s time to whittle that number down further, eliminating the almost-rans and sending the top talent through to the semis. Watch, laugh, vote and generally have a ball when the quarterfinals kick off at Leicester Square Theatre. Over 18s only. Please arrive on time as latecomers may not be admitted.
