Pundemonium! San Diego's Only Pun Competition @ Oasis Patio Bar

We're bringing Pundemonium back to the one and only Oasis Patio bar in Pacific Beach. Watch, laugh, groan, or join word nerds from across the city in a battle to see who's the punniest of them all—and win a coveted Golden Nugget chicken trophy!

Since we'll be outside in January, hot drinks will be available for purchase - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. And because it's a daytime, all-ages venue, bring your well-behaved kids and pets!

"Pundemonium!" is a two-part event based on the format used by pun contests in cities nationwide:

- In Part 1, Battle of the PUNdits, participants who have signed up in advance will deliver two-minute pun-filled speeches on a topic of their choice, and the audience will determine the winner. Want in? We ask that Battle of the PUNdits let us know you're competing ahead of time by emailing [email protected] - or email us with questions if you're curious but don't know how it works!

- Part 2, the PUNger Games, is a head-to-head pun-off tournament-style, where participants go back and forth making puns on a given topic until they just can't anymore. Think of it as a rap battle, but with puns.

Sign up in advance at [email protected] OR on the spot at Pundemonium!
