A drama student is through to the semi-final of a prestigious comedy competition.

Sarah Keyworth, 19, who goes to De Montfort University, is in the running for a prize at the Chortle Student Comedy Awards.

The second-year undergraduate won the regional heat of the competition, held at Warwick University last week.

The first female competitor to make it to this year's semis, Sarah is a relative newcomer to comedy having performed only 15 gigs before applying to Chortle.

She will go on to a semi-final in either London or Manchester, with a shot at the final at the Edinburgh Fringe, where the top prize is £2,000.

Chortle editor Steve Bennett said: "This competition is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and we've a proven record of giving talented comedians a vital leg-up in the circuit."

The competition has given a break to The Inbetweeners star Simon Bird, his Friday Night Dinner co-star Tom Rosenthal, Radio One's Tom Deacon and Chris Ramsey, star of BBC 2 comedy Hebburn.
