Crow’s Nest: Santa Cruz
September 3, 2023 @ 9:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Coming down to the wire, Preliminary Round One ends at what will surely be a packed Crow’s Nest.
A photo finish is expected.
What a place to announce the first five Semifinalists at the end of the evening, at the best restaurant in town.
The Crows Nest has earned a reputation of being a very notorious venue. It’s close to the water which is good because someone might sleep with the fishes tonight.
As a final night at the competition. Some comics are giving it their all for a chance to break into the Semifinals. Some kick back and enjoy themselves. Some of them have snap sets where all the stress of the week comes out, but the audience enjoys it either way.
It’s a fantastic show and not one to miss. This is also one of the only opportunities to see all 30 comics in one venue.
We have 15 comics on the bill. Five advance to the Semifinals. The rest go home.
Next week is a completely different round of competitors.
Tickets are only available at the door.

Host Dauood Naimyar
Afghan-American comedian Dauood Mohammad Naimyar learned the value of assimilating at a very young age. Because of this, he tried his best to not be different but failed at every encounter. Once he embraced his eccentric point of view, he saw the humor all around him. Dauood’s comedic perspective is shaped by the duality of his constant need to fit in and his relentless desire to be different. His search for being relatable yet unique has brought audiences joy for nine years—and will probably continue until he finally figures himself out. Dauood has built a following of 150,000+ TikTok followers by showing the humor of his circumstances as an Afghan living in America, with multiple viral hits poking fun at politicians and world leaders. Dauood’s debut comedy album, Pier 69: Junior Varsity, topped all the charts upon its release.
