Cantrill and Gleeson Claim Top Comedy Honors | Glasgow News
Description
Chris Cantrill takes home the top Edinburgh Comedy Award for his show “Rewilding,” marking his fourth nomination and a major career milestone after years of energetic, relatable comedy. Meanwhile, newcomer Marty Gleeson shocks with her unique, audience-involved act “Dog Ear,” earning the best newcomer prize and signaling a fresh voice in the scene. Both wins were unexpected — past winners like Steve Coogan and Sarah Millican loom large, and some buzzy shows missed the cut. The spirit of the fringe award went to “One Joke,” a charity-driven comedy event. Cantrill gets £10k, Gleeson £5k — and BBC Radio 4’s special broadcast promises more laughs to come.
