Press Release Summary: Off The Kerb Productions present Magners Paramount Comedy On

Press Release Body: The hottest comedy event of the student calendar, Comedy On Tap

as well as all ready established names performing at 15 universities and over 150
gigs nationwide.

Past performers include Jimmy Carr, Dara O'Briain and Alan Carr. Names already

Andrew Laurence (if.comedy nominee 2007) and in a series of one man specials the
2007 if.comedy winner Brendan Burns.

If that's not enough; we are once again looking to find the nation's Funniest
Student. Hannah George from Southampton Solent University was the 2007 Champion and
walked away with money can't buy prizes including guaranteed gigs courtesy from Alan
Carr and Michael McIntyre's management Off The Kerb Productions and the opportunity
to develop an idea with Paramount Comedy.

The whole experience bowled Hannah over so much that she's now planning to become a
regular on the comedy circuit: "I intend whole-heartedly to remain doing things with
comedy throughout my life really. I'll dedicate my life to comedy - there you go,
you heard it here first!"

If you think you're the next Lee Evans and would like the once in a lifetime
opportunity to perform at London's legendary Comedy Store (plus those top prizes),
simply send us a short clip of your stand-up act to enter the competition. You can
