FRESH FACES.
REAL STAGE TIME.
This is where comedians put their material to the test, perform for a real audience, and give us a reason to remember their name.
Every month, eight comedians get five minutes each: six are selected in advance, with two limited walk-up spots. No judging, just a real crowd and a chance to make them laugh. Applying doesn't guarantee stage time.
BRING YOUR
BEST.
