The First Annual Hollywood Comedy Fest is happening this August, so get your comedy submissions ready. From August 26 – 28, you can be a part of the Hollywood Comedy Fest, whether you’re performing or just looking for a show that will make you laugh. This is where some of the world’s funniest stand-up comics will compete for cash, prizes, and accolades. A panel of judges including casting directors, agents, managers, and other industry professionals will vote for the judges’ pick while a packed audience decides the house favorite at the illustrious Jon Lovitz Comedy Club in Universal Studios.

The producers of the fest tell us “the whole point of a festival is to get people who aren’t ordinarily connected, connected. As a performer, it’s hard to get in front of the right people, and as an audience member, it’s hard to find a great show. It seems like the majority of shows take both the talent and the audience for granted. Not on our show. We are so excited for the First Annual Hollywood Comedy Fest because we are going to have top-notch talent and a distinguished panel of judges who are respected and knowledgeable in the field of comedy. You should really make it out. This isn’t going to be just a show—this is going to be an event!

Lots o’ cash and prizes will be given away, and not just to the winners of the fest. Every night during the fest, prizes from various Hollywood businesses will be given to the audience, as well as participants. Sounds like Christmas every day to me. I’m in. For the comics, $100 will be given to the judges’ pick as well as $100 to the audience pick.
