The City Life Comedian of the Year competition is held annually in Manchester, and sponsored by the ''City Life'' magazine.〔(Manchester Evening News )〕 The competition began in 1990, and has become one of the most prestigious comedy awards in the North West of England, mostly based on the subsequent success of many of its entrants and winners. The competition is open to all, and early heats often have a broad mix of talent and ability. From each heat, the entrants are whittled down to eight finalists. In the first year, the competition was won by Caroline Aherne, who went on to create ''Mrs Merton'' and ''The Royle Family'' and in subsequent years all three writers of the successful sitcom ''Phoenix Nights'' - Peter Kay, Dave Spikey and Neil Fitzmaurice - won the competition. Notable runners-up include Dave Gorman, Archie Kelly and Johnny Vegas. == Winners == 1990 - Sister Mary Immaculate (Caroline Aherne) 1991 - Dave Spikey 1992 - Shared by Stan Vernon and Paul Glasswell 1993 - Tony Mills (now Tony Burgess) 1994 - Dave Rothnie 1995 - Chris Addison 1996 - Peter Kay 1997 - Shared by Neil Anthony (now Neil Fitzmaurice) and Dom Carroll 1998 - Steve Harris 1999 - Jason Manford 2000 - Justin Moorhouse 2001 - John Bishop 2002 - Phil Walker 2003 - Seymour Mace 2004 - John Warburton 2005 - Andy Watson 2006 - Vince Atta 2007 - Tim Craven 2008 - Eddie Hoo 2009 - no competition 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「City Life Comedian of the Year」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
