How it Works

The Festival runs over 3 days in Orlando, Florida.

Comedians will be divided into 2 groups. Group A will perform in the preliminary round on Day One and Group B in preliminary round on Day 2. The judges will choose 2 comedians from each group to advance to the finals. In addition 1 "Wild Card Comedian" from each group will also be chosen by the audience to advance the finals, giving a total of 6 finalists. The 6 finalists will compete on 8/8/2024, with one winner being crowned as the PunchlineKang Comedy Festival winner..
