At least until the winners are announced on Saturday, this year’s happiest comic will surely be Hull native Amy Gledhill, who unusually features on both shortlists – with her solo show on the newcomer roster, and as one-half of the sketch duo The Delightful Sausage, who are nominated, for the second time, for the main award.įallout … Seann Walsh. Nominations have also been announced for the best newcomer award, a list which includes 23-year-old Leo Reich (whose electrifying set Literally Who Cares?! would have justified a place on the main list), the Irish-Italian act Vittorio Angelone and New Jersey’s Emily Wilson, with a winning show about her appearance, aged 15, on The X Factor.
