2023's contest was lit! We started with 40 amateur performers, and narrowed it down to the top 12. The finals were loaded with local and regional talent, and comics did their best 3-5 minutes of material. It was a night to remember, and a chance to see the future of stand-up comedy in the Tri-State area.
