About this Event

The Seattle International Comedy Competition returns for its 46th year, bringing top emerging comedians from across North America and beyond to the Market Theater.

Each comic has just five minutes to win over the judges, impress the audience, and earn a place in the next round. The pace is fast, the pressure is real, and every laugh counts.

Come see some of tomorrow’s comedy stars before everyone else does.

Recommended for ages 18 and older.
