Even if there isn't yet a final to compete in!

The finalists have been chosen in this year’s Chortle Student Comedy Awards – even if details of the final have not yet been set.

Our 27 semi-finalists were placed into three groups, and the top acts from each were chosen by panels of comedy bookers and agents, based on viewing videos of their full sets from the heats, which took place around the country before lockdown.
