Radio Times Comedy Champion Round 1

The world isn't a very funny place these days, so you could say that the people who make us laugh are more important than ever.

That's why we're on the hunt for your Radio Times Comedy Champion - the rib-tickling star who makes your day with their jokes or witty observations.

We've whittled the thousands of comedy stars down to a shortlist, split into four groups - A, B, C and D. We want you to vote for your favourites. The top 8 contenders from each group will go through to Round 2.

So what are you waiting for? Find your favourite and get voting!
