The Seattle International Comedy Competition is the REAL "Last Comic Standing." 26 Days. 22 Shows. 18 Venues from Tacoma to Bellingham. 33 comedians from the U.S., Canada, UK, Europe, Australia, and Africa.
Talent executives from CBS, NBC, and more: movie studios, managers, agents and producers.
It’s America’s biggest touring comedy festival.
The 34th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition starts November 6, 2013 at The Columbia City Theatre in Seattle and continues nightly until a winner is crowned on Sunday, December 1 at The Comedy Underground in Seattle.
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 Snoqualmie Casino on Saturday November 23, the finalists are announced. Five get to go big, and five get to go home. After 2 days to recover and plan, the Final round begins on Tuesday November 26 at the Washington Athletic Club. After visits to theaters in Vashon, Kirkland, and Bremerton, and Seattle, we will have a new champion.
Seattle International Comedy Competition Finals.
