The shortlist for the 1994 Perrier Pick of the Fringe Award for best comedy reads as follows: much- fancied stand-up Alan Davies at the Gilded Balloon (8.15pm); Harry Hill (see review opposite); mild-mannered Brummie Jeff Green, the Assembly Rooms (9pm); absurd Australians Lano and Woodley, the Fringe Club (8.30pm); true blue American Robert Schimmel, the Assembly Rooms (10pm); and autobiographical sit-down comedian Owen O'Neill, the Gilded Ballon II (10.30pm). The winner will be announced at midnight on Saturday.
