Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

Here at Giggle Beats HQ we’re getting right into the Christmas spirit. The tree’s up, the turkey’s been ordered and the industry big wigs have sent us loads of top comedy prezzies to share with you lot over the next 12 days…

Eddie Izzard, Reginald D Hunter, Sean Lock and sack fulls of other top telly comics have donated their latest DVDs, we’re giving away tickets to all the best North East shows, and we’ve got one or two surprises along the way as well.

To make things easier for both of us, there’ll be no questions, terms or conditions; getting your hands on these ace prizes is simple. All you need to do is send us an email with your name, address, and a contact telephone number. The subject heading of the email should be the item you’d like to win (for instance, Eddie Izzard: Force Majeure).

And if you could join our mailing list (by clicking here) that’d be lovely, though not a requirement of entry. Like we said, no conditions.

Prizes will be announced daily at noon on this page (so bookmark it…), and competitions close at the end of each day. To clarify, you have until 23.59 to win today’s prize.

So what are you waiting for? Get cracking…

Mr Drayton’s Dinner Date is a comedy Come Dine With Me at The Stand Comedy Club in Newcastle.

We have TWO tickets to give away for the final ever* Dinner Date, this Saturday at 1pm. Don’t be a pudding – get entering.

*for now.

#12 Giggle Beats Comedy Quiz (12 December 2013)

It’s the final day of our Christmas giveaway, and while it would be churlish to suggest we’ve saved the best until last, we think today’s competition is well worth entering. On Sunday 5 January, the Giggle Beats Comedy Quiz launches at The Stand in Newcastle. It’s a chance to pit your wits against other comedy fans and win some top prizes along the way, all for less than the price of a sandwich. But that’s not all; we’ve also got a special stand-up set from panel show star, Jo Caulfield. Here’s a chance for you and five mates to enjoy the launch night on us.

Thanks to those who’ve entered 12 Days of Christmas 2013. We’ll be posting out prizes sometime next week, so the winners should receive their goodies before Christmas.

All the best,

Giggle Beats.
