WHO WE ARE
Will Franken ("Mock The Week", "Have I Got News For You") is pleased to announce this year he will officially
present, along with special guests, the inaugural Defining The Norm Awards at this year's Fringe
Festival. Shows will be judged on conformity to industry standards,
marketable status, adherence to shared political opinion, and audience
pandering. Special categories for shows consisting of safe targets,
stifled free speech, and lack of original or perceptive messages will
also be recognised, in addition to most marketably correct and expensive
flyer and poster combination. If you feel you have a show that is
uniform, systematic, and average, you could be a winner.
