Bathgate Taskmaster star in running for top comedy award

Bathgate comedian Fern Brady is in the running for an entertainment award, going up against the likes of Sarah Pascoe and Emily Atack.

The Taskmaster star is in the shortlist in the National Comedy Awards thanks to her hilarious stint on the hit show.

She is hoping to win in the Outstanding Female Comedy Entertainment Performance and is looking for the public to vote for her.

The National Comedy Awards for Stand Up To Cancer celebrates the UK’s most brilliant comedy content and creators.

The 2023 awards ceremony will take place live on Friday, February 17 at London’s Roundhouse.

Last year the entertainer was named the most influential Scot on Twitter after one tweet earned her well over 80,000 likes on the platform.

She also bravely opened up about her experiences after being diagnosed with autism.

Fern, who has made numerous TV appearances and sold out several runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, said health problems sparked by her efforts to “fit in” inspired her to get tested.
