San Francisco Comedy Competition Starts September 6

The 42nd Annual San Francisco Comedy Competition kicks off September 6, 2017 at the Bindery in San Francisco.

We just closed our application process and will announce the field of competitors soon.

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.

No other festival or TV show can claim to have discovered as many future comedy superstars as the annual San Francisco Comedy Competition. The list begins with the likes of Louis C.K., Dana Carvey, Ellen DeGeneres and Robin Williams.
