Announcing Comedy Competition Week 2
The 2024 San Francisco Comedy Competition kicks off Preliminary Week Two this Wednesday with a Comedy Oakland show at the Washington Inn.
Moving on to the Semifinals
We have 16 really great comics in Week One and it would be great to see this show keep running. But it is a content and only the top five comedians move on to compete in the Semifinals.
The Scuttlebutt from the Crows Nest
The Crows Nest is always a wild comedy ride and tonight was no different. Why this show is so notorious has to do with the fact it is the final show of the week. The place has been doing comedy for decades and it’s reputation as a wild venue is well deserved.
An Afternoon in Orinda
The official results are in. Afternoon comedy in an old movie house is a great experience. We had our first tie in fifth place, so there’s seven people in the Top Five.
The Guild Theatre Late Show Results
The Top Five: 1 Dan Aguinaga, 2 Frankie Marcos, 3K Cheng, 4 Marcus Howard, 5 Shaheen Khal
Guild Theatre: We have results from Two Shows!
Two Shows in one night at the Guild Theatre in Menlo Park. Our Top Five for both shows are here. Follow us and see who will end up being our first five Semifinalists. We have two more shows to go.
Opening Night is a Sellout!
We are off and running with a sold-out, standing room only crowd at the Battery in San Francisco. This is a private club where you have to be a member. I guess one of the rules is you have to like great comedy. We showed up with 16 comics.
Doug Stanhope Arrested
Rumors have been flying since a Sheriff showed up with an arrest warrant during a live broadcast on Instagram on Wednesday.
What is the San Francisco Comedy Competition?
Now in it’s 48th year, the San Francisco Comedy Competition is an annual, multi-week, judged, stand-up comedy contest. Over thirty comedians, out of hundreds who apply, perform in shows held in comedy clubs, bars, restaurants, casinos and theaters in San Francisco and around the Bay Area.
Best of the Comedy Competition
In addition, we feature Best of the Competition shows throughout the year to give audiences a chance to experience longer sets with comedians we felt deserve more stage time.
