How to Enter the 29th Annual San Francisco International Stand-Up Comedy Competition
Comedy Competition co-producer Anne Fox is currently viewing tapes submitted by omedians who want to enter this year’s event. She is looking for youthful, professional talent with outstanding ability and determination.
Only 30 performers will be accepted. They will be split into two groups, one of which will compete in preliminary round one September 15-19 and the other of which will compete in preliminary round two September 22-26. In the preliminary rounds, contestants perform five to seven minute sets and travel from San Francisco to venues in such cities as San Rafael, Napa, Livermore and Santa Cruz.
The top five acts from each preliminary round will advance to the semi-final round, September 28 to October 3. By making the semis, each performer will be guaranteed of making a minimum of $1,000 for two weeks work. In all, $20,000 in prize money will be distributed with $5,000 going to the eventual winner. Semi-finalists will perform ten to twelve minute sets at such venues as Villa Montalvo, Sacramento State, Luther Burbank Center and the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society.
The top five semi-finalists will advance to the final round, October 5-10, where they will perform 15-20 minute sets.
Applicants should send a 20-minute tape along with a picture and bio to:
