HBO to sling Andy Kaufman Award

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on September 10th, 2007

Head over to the MySpace site of the Andy Kaufman Award to find out sketchy details on this year’s competition.

Are you the next Andy? Beginning Thursday September 13th, show us your originality and humor by submitting your 5-minute tv-clean videos at TheAndyKaufmanAward.com or Ziddio.com/theandykaufmanaward.

Eight finalists will have a chance to perform at The Comedy Festival on Friday, November 16th at Caesars Palace and a shot at $5,000! Open to U.S. performers 18 years or older. Remember to keep it clean!

We didn’t make the above sites above links yet– there seems to be a delay in getting those sites up and running.

For now, the MySpace site has clips of past winners Kristen Schaal and Reggie Watts, “Creative comedic types who break the mold and reflect the spirit, originality, humor and courage of Andy Kaufman.” Scroll down the site further for a submission deadlines.

Also TCF-related: Ziddio reminds us that voting is under way for the online component of their Lucky 21 contest. Currently viewable are comics from last month’s New York Regional Semifinals. (Logging in may be required to view and/or vote.)

But wait, there’s more: “Jokesters who think they are just as funny or funnier than their stand-up club competitors also have the opportunity to compete through October 22. All they need to do is upload their best shtick to the Ziddio site.
