Edinburgh Festival snobs '˜look down on comedians'
The organiser of the main prize for comedy at the Edinburgh Festival has complained that it is still seen as an inferior art form.
Nica Burns said comedians was being sneered or looked down upon despite the huge numbers of stars to emerge from the Fringe.
She said it was unfair that comedy was not treated seriously enough in Edinburgh in August when performers had tackled a host of hard-hitting and unfashionable issues in their shows.
