About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Join us every month for a new kind of comedy competition. Each comic tells some of their longest-running jokes or bits, then the other two comics have a chance to steal those bits by telling them better. The winner is decided by who can make the audience laugh the hardest. It’s cut-throat, it’s creative, and above all it’s for real: once a comic steals a joke, it’s really theirs to tell at other shows for all time!

Organized by

The Lincoln Lodge

Known primarily for the nation’s longest running independent comedy show (The Lincoln Lodge) we also produce special events, help others organizations to raise money with comedy events and offer classes (Feminine Comique and Stand-Up Seminary) to encourage more community participation in stand-up comedy. We have been very successful at nurturing local talent and can point to a long line of alumni like Hannibal Burress, Kyle Kinane, T.J. Miller, Pete Holmes and Cameron Esposito who all got their start at The Lodge. Our reputation for professionalism, talent and integrity means organizations such as Just for Laughs and Comedy Central have invited us to collaborate with them.
