THE ENGLISH COMEDY TALENT AWARD – WHAT IS IT?

The English Comedy Talent Award is a stand-up comedy competition in which talented comedians, living in the Netherlands and Belgium, are discovered. Unlike the regular Comedy Talent Award, where everyone can participate in the language of their liking, the participants of the ECTA are required to perform in English.

Price

The ECTA is the first all English stand-up comedy competition in the Netherlands and aims to reach 100 participants this year. Also: it has a great prize! Two winners will play at the Utrecht International Comedy Festival.

DEVELOPMENT TRACK

Talented participants in the ECTA who reach the semi-finals are actively helped to improve their act. They will receive workshops and masterclasses from professional comedians, for example.

COACHING

Talented comedy acts are not only helped during, but also after the ECTA. For example, they are offered professional performances and coaching by the Comedyhuis in Utrecht.
