Four of Britain’s brightest acts will battle it out for Edinburgh Festival’s top comedy accolade, the if.comedy award, it was announced today.

David O'Doherty, Rhod Gilbert, Russell Kane and Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunohler are on the shortlist for the £8000 top prize, formerly known as the Perrier Award.

Over 350 acts were considered for the award, given to “the most outstanding up-and-coming, funny, original comedy show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe”.

New York-based comedians Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunohler have made the cut with their silly drama Double Down Hearts, which includes a scene featuring Pocahontas and American colonist John Smith having phone sex.

“Plying the sort of wilfully daft double act that just looks like graduate jollies when so many British comedians try it…there are sparks of something glorious in here”, concluded Times Comedy Editor Dominic Maxwell.

Schaal has achieved fame in the television hit Flight of the Conchords.
