This is very long, but please read it all.
Those selected will perform twice doing 10 minute long sets, will be listed in the program, on the poster and website, and will receive an Artist badge allowing them access to all festival shows, official after parties, an artist/industry luncheon, an artist/VVIIPP Badge Holder brunch and an artist/VIP/VVIIPP Badge Holder cocktail hour. You will not receive monetary compensation for performing at the festival, but you will get to do shows with cool headliners, network with your peers and industry, and have a good time.
We are currently confirming this year's visiting industry, but previous industry have included representatives from Netflix, Just For Laughs, Funny Business Agency, The Comedy Attic, The Comedy Fort, The Ice House, Comedy Corner Underground, Go Bananas Comedy Club, Dry Heat Comedy Club, Let's Comedy, High Plains Comedy Festival, The 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival, Lucille Ball Comedy Festival and the National Comedy Center.
Submission fee is $25 from 12:00 a.m. EST January 1st to 11:59 p.m. EST February 12th, and $40 from 12:00 a.m. EST February 13th to 11:59 p.m. EST March 12th. Submission fees are non-refundable.
ALL submission videos must be hosted on YouTube or Vimeo, and must be set to Public so the review panel can view them. Videos on any other format (Google Drive, Facebook Video, etc...) will not be accepted. YouTube and Vimeo only.
ALL submission videos must be at least 5 minutes long. If your video is longer than 5 minutes, please be aware that the review panel will only watch the first five minutes of your clip. Your video should be one unedited video, NOT a "best of" from several different sets or one set with several edits. Also your video should be you doing material, not crowd work. We’re interested in your jokes, not what someone in the front row does for a living.
Comics will be notified in early April as to whether they were selected or not.
The submission link is below. It will take you to a PayPal page where you will pay the submission fee. Once that transaction is complete do not close that window. It will automatically redirect you to a Google form where you will enter your submission info and clip link.
