Top comics announced for Games Media Awards 08

This year’s Games Media Awards will be hosted by the brilliant Canadian stand-up, Tom Stade, and will also feature sets from top comics Terry Alderton and Ricky Grover.

With the venue being the Jongleurs Comedy Club in Camden, it made perfect sense to build the evening’s entertainment around some of the leading talent on the stand-up circuit – as well as the awards themselves, rewarding the best in specialist, print, mainstream and digital media.

The voting process is well underway, but nothing has been decided yet and you still have time to cast your votes. Go to mcvuk.com, click on the Games Media Awards logo and get involved.

The GMAs take place on the evening of Thursday October 16th. The Gold Sponsors are Microsoft, Nintendo, Activision, Codemasters and Electronic Arts. Silver Sponsors are 505 Games, Gamecock and Koch Media. Individual Category Sponsors are Rising Star and Ubisoft.

Trade tickets are available for 75.
