The Comedy Festival (TCF), the consumer-oriented comedy fest in Vegas created by HBO (partnered with TBS), has hooked up with Ziddio.com (which is the online video-sharing, user-gen site launched by Comcast), to conduct The Lucky 21.
The Lucky 21 will allow comedy fans to send their favorite comedians to TCF by supporting them at their local comedy club and voting for them online.
In the first round of competition, 42 comedy clubs across the country will choose their top comedians to perform in front of a panel of judges. Two comedians from each club will be selected to advance to one of seven regional competitions. During the regionals, fans will have the opportunity to vote online for the top 20 comedians who will advance to Las Vegas and perform at TCF.
