OPEN MIC
STEP RIGHT UP
Open Mics are where jokes are born! Where comics strain and grunt to push out mushy, slime covered balls of noise they will one day work into useful parts of their act!! It’s also a place for comics to grow, to poop their pants and cry and to try figure out what the hell they are doing on stage!?!! Featuring Edmonton’s Best Comedians, right alongside first timers, up-and-comers and just plain bad comics, all side by side fighting for your laughs! Join us Wednesday, July 5th for this little miracle of an open mic!!
Wednesday, July 2nd at 11:00PM
Free event!
STAND-UP
STAND-OFF
LET THE BATTLE BEGIN
The Stand-Up Stand-Off Comedy Competition pits 48 Comedians against each other for 4 weeks leading up to the Finale at Grindstone Comedy Fest! Hosted by Alex Jocko! After four weeks of competition it all comes down to this; the final countdown, the minute of truth, the clash of the titanics! It’s the Stand-Up Stand-Off Finals where one comedian will be the winner and the others will be given a participation badge.
Disclaimer: no actual badge will be given, metaphorical badges only.
