The overall Future Face of Greater Birmingham award will be handed out to one of the winners of the seven individual sector categories.

Acclaimed stand-up comedian Brennan Reece is to star at this year’s Future Faces dinner and awards. Manchester-born Reece (pictured) has been tipped as a rising star of British
comedy, having appeared on BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky One. He has also recently performed sell-out tours of the UK and Australia. In 2015, Reece was named English Comedian of the Year and the following
year he was a nominee in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards’ Best Newcomer category. Future Faces manager Anna Assinder said: “We’re delighted to have
Brennan as our headline entertainment for the third annual Future Faces awards dinner. Brennan has earned a reputation as one of the finest up-and-coming comedians in the country and as an ambitious and successful young professional himself I’m sure he’ll be a huge hit with the Future Faces audience.”
