Comedy review: Scottish Comedian of the Year Final 2010

Scottish Comedian of the Year Final 2010O2 Academy, Glasgow***

The disgraceful booing that greeted Ro Campbell's announcement as 2010 Scottish Comedian of the Year capped an odd night characterised by sporadic outbursts of ill will.

The Australian, who qualifies for the title as a long-time resident, was a deserving winner. Nevertheless, a significant number of Scottish comedians have opted not enter the event and the final was an unprecedentedly tetchy affair, with no fewer than four of the 11 competitors having a dig at compere Tam Cowan.
