The World Series of Comedy

No. All we require is an offer from you to give us work for the winners of the contest.

No. We do not want you to do anything different than what you do for your feature acts. Pay them the same as any other act. All this festival does is take out the work for the comic who wants to work for you.

No. When the festival is over, producer Joe Lowers will email you a list of the winners. He will also email the winners a list of the bookers offering work. All we ask is that when they contact you, you set up their work for them as soon as you as you can in a fashion that works for the both of you.

We only ask for one week for the winner of the contest, but we love it when you give us three weeks. A week each for the first, second and third place winners is great.

Yes. That is what we are hoping for. Every booker or comedy club who gives us work for the festival winners is invited to join us at the Belterra Casino in Florence, IN for The Main Event.

Yes. We will take care of your hotel room for however many nights you can be at the festival. Some bookers come out for the entire week and some only come out for a few days.

Yes. When you are judging one of the contest nights, we will give you drink tickets and we will also have a food menu for you in the showroom to grab something to eat while watching the show.

The most important part of the festival is the Meet & Greet that takes place on Thursday at 1pm. We make every effort to have all the bookers who are attending to try to be there for this event. We also ask each booker to judge at least one show during the week. If you can do more, it is greatly appreciated. If you are still in town on Saturday, we ask that you come to all the shows on Saturday to see the finals. We also have events each night that we would like you take part when and if possible.

Sure! Just email joe@theworldseriesofcomedy.com or fill out the bookers registration form. We will contact you with the information you need and how it all works. We are already working on next year and hoping to have all the Satellite locations booked by this year’s festival. We want to announce at the Main Event all the places we will be going next season.

No, but we would love for you to do it. It will give us the information we need from you, including contact information to give to the winners, and who we can give this information to.

No. When the festival is over we will email you a list of the top 16 comics from Saturday along with the winning 3 comics. If you are okay with this we will only give your information out to them. If not, your details will only go out to the top 3 comedians.

This is not an open mic. This is one of the most difficult festivals to get picked for. The talent level is very high and the shows are very solid. The comics who make it to Saturday’s finals have beaten out almost 500 other comedians. The comics who have won this in the past can headline most clubs in the country. This is the reason some of the top clubs in the country have let us have a Satellite in their club – because the shows are great.
