Prove it and make us laugh or cry!
The Rules & Perks
The Rules: It’s simple: this contest is for amateurs only! If you've ever been paid for your comedic talent, sorry, you're out. Your material must be 100% original, but it doesn’t have to be traditional standup—just make sure it’s funny and 100% yours. Contestants will be judged on stage presence, creativity, and how much the audience laughs (or groans, we’ll take either).
The Perks: You get 10 free tickets to the show you’ll perform in—give them to whoever you like, and build your own personal cheering squad! We’ve got nightly prizes up for grabs, and five contestants compete each night, alongside our regular show featuring a new national headliner every week. The top 25 scores of the summer will move on to the semi-finals, so it’s not just about making them laugh—it's about winning those laughs!
