LCS FAQ

Abbreviation madness!

Note: They are NOT acronyms… acronyms must be pronounceable. We suppose one could refer to the NBC reality show by calling it “Licks” or “Lacks,” but that would sound goofy. Mind you, if judged on previous seasons of the show, it would be appropriate to call the show “Licks” or “Lacks.” But, from what we hear, the upcoming season will not lack. It will be, we are told second- and third-hand, “comedian-friendly.”

We are understandably skeptical. But we are willing to give the producers the benefit of the doubt. Herewith is their Frequently Asked Questions list from the show’s Facebook page:

What time should I arrive?
-Auditions will run from 9am to 6pm. We recommend arriving early as we cannot guarantee the number of people the judges will have time to see.

Is parking available?
-Production does not provide parking. There is street parking around the Improv in LA. We do not recommend driving in NY, as there is no parking at Gotham.

What should I bring to the audition?
-Please bring a picture ID AND I-9 documentation (US Social Security Card, US Passport, or Greencard).

What do I do once I get to the club?
-Get in line…further instructions will be given as needed.

Is there paperwork I can fill out?
-Paperwork will be completed at the audition prior to your performance.

How long is the audition?
-You have 2 minutes to impress the judges in the initial round.

What happens if I advance?
-If the judges select you to advance to the showcase round, you will be given the information at that time.

Is there an age limit?
-You must be over 18 to audition

How can I attend the showcase taping in the audience?
-Contact the Improv in LA & Gotham in NY directly to purchase tickets.

Will you be auditioning in any other cities besides NY & LA?
-No. We will only be in NY & LA this season.

Stay tuned.
