Seattle International Comedy Competition
Unexpected Productions will be the host on November 14th the 34th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition starts November 6, 2013  and continues nightly until a winner is crowned on Sunday, December.  
26 Days.
22 Shows.
18 Venues from Tacoma to Bellingham
33 comedians from the U.S., Canada, UK, Europe, Australia, and Africa.
Over $15,000 in cash prizes.
Talent executives from CBS, NBC, and more: movie studios, managers, agents and producers.
It's America's biggest touring comedy festival.

There are two "preliminary" rounds of 16-17 comedians; each comedian gets 5 minutes to impress. The Preliminary rounds consist of 6 shows, and a combination of entertainment industry and celebrity judges and audience reaction determines who moves on when each performer's 5 best scores are tallied.

The top 5 comics from the Preliminaries make the semi-finals; all the semi-finalists win some cash, and get to compete for the title by performing for 10 minutes nightly for 5 shows.

At the last Semi-Final show,  at the Snoqualmie Casino on Saturday November 23,  the finalists are announced. Five get to go big, and five get to go home. After 2 days to recover and plan, the Final round begins on Tuesday November 26 at the Washington Athletic Club. After visits to theaters in Vashon, Kirkland, and Bremerton, and Seattle, we will have a new champion.
