REGISTRATIONINFO
Everyone who registers for The World Series of Comedy will be registered for The Main Event
Everyone who registers for The World Series of Comedy in the 2023 season will be registered for The Main Event and will have the option to pick a Live Satellite for FREE as long as the Live Satellites are still open and are free. You do not have to participate in a Live Satellite to get picked for The Main Event. If you don’t want to pick a Live Satellite you don’t have to, you will only be registered for The Main Event. Once all the Live Satellites are closed and registration is closed for The Main Event, we will watch the remaining videos and post the Top 101 Comics from everyone who registered in the 2023 season for The Main Event.
FREE SATELLITE OR ONLINE SHOWCASE
One Live Satellite is FREE when you register for The Main Event. You need to pick the Live Satellite you want to register for before that Live Satellite deadline. At a certain date prior to each Live Satellite deadline, that Live Satellite will no longer be free. Live Satellites start off FREE then the registration fee will go up to $25 for Live Satellites. If you want to register for more than one Live Satellite you can add additional Live Satellite for a $25 fee. To add more Satellites after you register, just email [email protected] and he will email you a link to the form you will need to add more Live Satellite.
We will take all the comics who picked the same Live Satellite and watch their videos. From those we will pick the top 40 for that Live Satellite. The top 40 for Satellites will be posted on this website. Even if you don’t get picked or can’t make it to the Live Satellite you are still registered for The Main Event. Register today and pick a FREE Live Satellite.
The winner of each Live Satellite will get direct entry into the Second Round of The Main Event. The winner of the Live Satellite will get paid work from the host club holding the Live Satellite. The Second and Third Places from each Live Satellite are guaranteed a spot in The Main Event. That spot is in the Wildcard unless their video/live score is high enough to put them into the Second Round.
REGISTRATION FEE
The registration fee will start out at $75 with no discounts available. Once the registration fee goes up to $100, you can email [email protected] for a discount code to save $25 off registration if you registered in the past for The Main Event.
