Talent executives from CBS, NBC, and more: movie studios, managers, agents and producers. It’s America’s biggest touring comedy festival.

The 36th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition starts November 4, 2015 at The Market Theater in Seattle and continues nightly until a winner is crowned on Sunday, November 29 at the Snoqualmie Casino in North Bend.
There are two “preliminary” rounds of 16-17 comedians; each comedian gets 5 minutes to impress. The Preliminary rounds consist of 6 shows, and a combination of entertainment industry and celebrity judges and audience reaction determines who moves on when each performer’s 5 best scores are tallied.

The top 5 comics from the Preliminaries make the semi-finals; all the semi-finalists win some cash, and get to compete for the title by performing for 10 minutes nightly for 5 shows.

At the last Semi-Final show at the Comedy Underground on Sunday, November 22, the finalists are announced. Five comedians get to go big, and five get to go home. After two days to recover and plan, the Final round begins on Tuesday November 24 at the Washington Athletic Club. After visits to theaters in Vashon, Kirkland, and Bremerton and North Bend, we will have a new champion.

What could be a better way to spend Thanksgiving Eve than in a sold-out theatre on Vashon Island?

The Vashon Theatre is another venue the comediens always enjoy. Not only does the theatre have a great selection of first run movies and independent films, it also features special limited events such as National Theatre live, Oscar nights and Vashon Island community events.

This show sells out, so buy your tickets early. They have discounts for military and seniors.
