Watch Video: Edinburgh Comedy Awards Acceptance Speech From Best Newcomer Joe Kent-Walters
Kent-Walters Plays Washed Up Club Compere Frankie Monroe
I posted this clip on TikTok yesterday but having realised not everyone in the world looks at TikTok I thought I should post it here.
Joe Kent-Walters’ show as devilish MC Frankie Monroe was the first show I saw at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024. I arrived at 10.20pm on August 2, dumped my bag in my room and headed straight over to the Monkey Barrel to see his 11.35pm show.
It was my favourite show of the Fringe and I clearly wasn’t alone. Yesterday Kent-Walters picked up the Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer Award. Watch his acceptance speech here after he received the award from last year’s Best Show winner
Ahir Shah and Richard Osman.
And even better, go and see him live.
I’ll update followers when he confirms London and UK dates.
