Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

Yeah, that’s right. 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…

Michael McIntyre, Kevin Bridges, Jon Richardson, Al Murray and sack fulls of other top telly comics have donated their latest DVDs, we’re giving away tickets to all the best local 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, Michael McIntyre: Showtime).

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 10am 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…

#1 Michael McIntyre: Showtime (1 December)

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…a Michael McIntyre DVD. That’s right, folks; Mr Comedy Roadshow himself has given us two copies of his latest show, Showtime, as well as a Blu-Ray edition if you’re that way inclined. (When entering please specify which version you’d like to win, otherwise we’ll assume it’s the DVD copy…)

#12 Stand Comedy Club Gift Vouchers (12 December)

After 11 days and over 1000 entries, we reckon we’ve saved the best until last. Valid for any performance at any of their venues, today we’re giving away £150 worth of gift vouchers for The Stand Comedy Club.

In the interests of fairness, we’re splitting the vouchers five ways – so FIVE of you will each win £30 to spend at your local Stand Comedy Club in Newcastle, Edinburgh or Glasgow. Winners also receive a 12 month membership for Stand Together, the club’s comedy discount scheme.

Thanks to everyone who entered over the last 12 days. We’ll be posting prizes out sometime next week, so the winners should receive their goodies before Christmas.

All the best,

Giggle Beats.
