Unlike most acts, Peter has heroically never aspired to make any money from the Fringe and has staunchly defended his free model. The nominee for that is Fringe legend Peter Buckley Hill, who created the Free Fringe and spawned all the other copies of the ‘free’ model in Edinburgh, London and elsewhere. If the other nominee wins the trophy, it will be called the ACT LEAST LIKELY TO MAKE A MILLION QUID AWARD. Over the last year, she has been touring with What Would Beyonce Say?

(10.15pm at The Counting House) The first nominee – for the ACT MOST LIKELY TO MAKE A MILLION QUID AWARD is the amazing crowd-pulling Luisa Omielan. This year, we have decided to nominate two acts for this trophy and, depending on who wins it, we will call it by a different name. However, the award had already been made, so – given that it is in the form of a £ sign with a bite taken out of it, we awarded it under the name THE POUND OF FLESH AWARD to Ellis, who was beaten up by his double act partner Rose so that they could claim he was beaten up in the street by a punter irate at their Jimmy Savile: The Punch and Judy Show.

He also flyered for the ACMS (Alternative Comedy Memorial Society) by standing with his head in a cardboard box full of flyers. This meant the right audiences self-selected themselves for the show. If they asked why, he gave them a small card with show details.
To ‘sell’ Ben Target’s show, he handed out blank strips of paper to passers-by.

A brief debate between the Malcolm Hardee Comedy Award judges seemed to decide that stupidity was possibly a bonus in being nominated for a Cunning Stunt Award. There was reportedly an element of disgruntlement in the audience.
