About
You’re Invited to a slam-style, pun-making competition and comedy show!
21+ ONLY
What is aPun-Slam? Come along as we walk you through this event...
Step 1: Arrive - A fantastic decision; you’re already winning!
Step 2: Decide if you intend to compete, would like to judge, or just sit back and enjoy the show.
Step 3: If you decide to compete, you are now an Intender, intending to win, and will be given a prompt with up to an hour (depending on your arrival time – Doors open at 6:30pm, Show is at 7:30pm) to come up with your two-minute schtick for round two.
For example, if your prompt is “cheese” your schtick could go something along the lines of, “Wow, everyone here is really lookin’ Sharp; I hope ya’ll don’t get too Shredded! You little Munsters spending lots of Cheddar tonight? Tipping your bar staff, I hope!” You will also a drink ticket, and the chance to win a prize! $$$
If you decide to be a judge, you will be handed a dry-erase board and marker (for the evening).
3 rounds
Up to 6 Intenders (aka participants)
5 judges
1 ChampiPun!
In between rounds, local comedians will be performing punny sets!!! How AWESOME is that?!!
How The Competition Works:
Round 1 - In pairs of two, Intenders (volunteers from the audience) approach the stage and are given a prompt to collaboratively pun with (no one goes on stage alone for the first round and we are making friends here)!
Round 2 - The Intenders come up one by one to share their puns with the prompt decided on before the show began.
Round 3 - The top 4 punners pun-off head to head until we have a ChampiPun whose win is decided by the audience!!!
They receive a prize, bragging rights, and big cheers! Ready for a terrific night of fun and laughter?
Pun-slangin', community buildin', laughable time! Puns are celebrated, groans are encouraged, & folks compete to be the next champipun!
