At the start of the competition 3 cards are handed out to lucky members of the audience. Up to 10 acts then take to the stage and each try to do 5 minutes of material. If within the 5 minutes all 3 cards go up then the act has lost and must leave the stage. If the 3 cards stay down, that act has successfully ‘Beat The Frog’. They are then invited back to the stage for a clap off at the end of the night which will determine the overall winner.
Each October we invite the winners from the past 12 months back and find the best of the best in what has been dubbed the Beat The Frog World Series.
The World Series finalist wins a paid club spot at the Frog and Bucket, plus a cash prize and substantial press coverage. As of 2015 we now have 3 prizes to be won at the 'World Series', The Main Prize (made up from audience votes), A Panel Prize (made up from respected industry voters) & the runner up, each comes with its own unique trophy.
