<-- Comedians from around the world are invited to throw their hat into the ring for consideration of making the roster of the 31st Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition as applications are currently being accepted.-->

- Are you at least 21 years of age?
- Were you NOT in last year's competition?

If you can answer “yes” to those questions, you are eligible to apply.
Above and beyond being simply “eligible”, this competition is looking for active and compelling stand-up comedy talent.

2) Is it time to apply?

The application process runs from June 1st through September 1st.
Any applications received after September 1st may not receive full consideration, depending on how far along the roster selection process has gotten.

Contestants perform 3-7 minute long sets in one of two preliminary weeks, consisting of six shows in six venues over six nights. The top five from each preliminary week will meet in the semi-finals week, which requires them to perform 8-12 minute long sets for another six shows. The top five from the semi-finals move on to the finals. In the finals, they will perform 15-20 minute long sets in five more shows…and, a winner is crowned.

This is a judged contest. Each contestant will perform for a unique group of judges for every show they do. Judges score each contestant in seven categories.

The Seattle International Comedy Competition shares the same basic format and structure as the San Francisco Comedy Competition—and both competitions share the same Executive Producer, Jon Fox.
