44th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition
December 1, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
The top five comedians of the Competition battle for the night’s highest score and an opportunity for a shot at cash and prizes. The pressure is on as the comedians take the stage for 20-minute sets of their best material. One of these comics will be crowned Champ.
This event truly is the “Last Comic Standing”. The Competition attracts comedians from across North America and beyond. This event is one of the most prestigious comedy events in North America, launching the careers of people like Mitch Hedberg. It’s an outrageously funny evening, where you will see the comedy stars of tomorrow competing for their chance at fame and fortune. Hundreds of comedians audition each year to compete. Only 32 are chosen.
