Apply for So You Think You’re Funny? 2021 – So You Think You're Funny?

All showcases dates and locations for the 2020 So You Think You’re Funny? Competition are being rescheduled to 2021. Applicants who were offered a slot at one of our showcases in 2020, will be offered a slot at one of our rescheduled showcases in 2021. Find out more about the rescheduled showcases here.

Since we are rolling over applicants to 2021, spaces will be limited and we will sadly not be able to guarantee all new applicants a slot at one of the showcases. We will make every effort to fit in applicants to heats on a first come first served basis. We recommend applying as soon as possible, as the limited spaces we do have will likely fill up quickly. Applications for the 2021 So You Think You’re Funny? Competition will close at the end of January 2021.

Please make sure you have read and understood all the essential information, here to check whether you are eligible.

Please keep an eye on @gildedballoon social media channels and this website for any updates on this year’s competition. Best of luck!

Please note: All those that applied to the 2020 competition have been allocated a slot in the rescheduled heats in 2021. The closing date for new applications into the 2021 competition will be 31st January 2021. The Regional Heats begin in April and are filled on a first come first served basis.

From the Semis, 9 performers will be invited to perform at the Final at the Gilded Balloon during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. For the avoidance of doubt, each performer is responsible for their own accommodation and transport to the Final too.
