T-Shirt Sponsorship

Have your logo included on our highest profile merchandise item

Your logo on 100’s of official WSOC T-shirts

We produce custom designed T-Shirts for all of The WSOC events. This includes all 8 regional Satellites and The Main Event. Create your merchandise package by choosing as many of these events as you want – volume discounts offered for multiple events. Our T-Shirts are our most purchased merchandise item, and are available for purchase by our comedians, industry guests and audience members.

Showroom Video Ads

Have a fully produced commercial play in our preshow video

Promote your company to our crowds

We produce a custom preshow video display for all WSOC events. You have the chance for us to insert a fully produced commercial to play during the preshow presentation (note, no audio). You can choose the length of commercial, and the pricing is considerate of that factor.

Lanyard & Custom Merchandise Sponsorship

Expose your brand to all of our performers and VIP guests

Create exposure for your company with our comedians and audience members

We use over 1000 lanyards a year for our performers and VIP judges. You can target one specific regional Satellite, or purchase the lanyards for the entire festival season.

On-site Signage

Brand our showroom to highlight your company

Your logo at our events – it’s just that simple

Every year, we produce 8 regional Satellites events and The Main Event. There are opportunities at each of these locations to have your company logo on a sign. At regional events, your ad can be on our stand up signs on stage, in the lobby, or both. At The Main Event, we can also offer signage on the walls and in the host venue (subject to restrictions).

Title Sponsors

Expose your brand to our performers, industry VIPs and audience members

Be a name sponsor of the festival

There are many options to choose from, whether you want to be a title sponsor of a specific regional Satellite, or of our Online Streams, or even one of our recurring events like the Wednesday Wildcard Shows. The options are too numerous to list, but we would be happy to work with you directly to find an option that meets the goals and needs of your advertising campaign.

Created and produced by CEO Joe Lowers, the focus of the festival is exposing comedians to industry insiders with the goal of attaining more paid work. Celebrating its 14th year, The Main Event started in  Las Vegas and now has grown to include over a dozen cities and clubs a year.
