16 Comedy acts take part in each night’s Audition, with 12 acts chosen from the total of eight nights of auditions to play the grand final of The NATYS at The Bloomsbury Theatre on Sunday 27 January 2013.

Auditions for The New Act of The Year Comedy Showcase and awards start in November, and will present the best of emerging talent in the world of comedy this year. Auditions are regularly attended by acts from around Britain, and aim to give comedians the opportunity to perform at this celebrated industry showcase.
Established in 1983, the New Act of The Year showcase has helped most of the new wave of comedy acts get started on the big stage. Previous finalists include Linda Smith, Harry Hill, Stewart Lee, Ardal O’Hanlon, Ronnie Ancona, Imran Yusuf, Catherine Tate, Lee ‘Nelsy’ Nelson, Andi Osho, Jack Whitehall, Gina Yashere, Ricky Grover, Lee Mac, Simon Day, Simon Pegg, Omid Djalili, Andrew Maxwell, Alistair McGowan, Alan Davies, Ed Byrne and Russell Brand. The 2012 final continued the high standard set in recent years and this year’s New Act of The Year was the engagingly surreal Patrick Cahill.
