We wrapped up our 28th year of doing this with the Jenny Awards on Sunday night and below you will find a list of the participants and winners (in Bold). First a couple notes, the category title that was used during the show for one of the awards (listed below as *12 was insensitive and should not have been used the way it was, we offer our formal apology here and it has been replaced in this list. Additionally, we apologize to those performers and crowd members who were unable to attend and felt excluded due the the King’s Head being a non accessible venue. We have been aware of this for a few years, due to difficulties even some of our own staff have in climbing the stairs to the venue space. However, we do not currently know of any other venue that is accessible that could meet the requirements, including being Fringe friendly, close to Old Market Square, able to seat over 100 people, having a sound system, having reasonably priced food and drinks, and who is willing to do it late on a Sunday night for free. I will also say that if it was not for the continued support of the King’s Head, going all the way back to 2002, the Jenny Revue would probably have ceased to exist long ago. We are open to suggestions, so if you do know of an accessible space that might work let us know.
