Sarasota Comedy Festival

Anyone interested in competing in this years Sarasota Comedy Festival please e-mail me your contact info. The dates are March 5th, 7th and 10th. 16 comics compete on the 5th and 7th, audience voting to determine who advances. The two winners compete on the 10th. The winner gets a spread in the local paper and a week of feature work at the Comedy Zone, Palm Harbor.

The Festival is a fund raiser for Child Protective Services and is a CLEAN show only. If chosen to compete you will receive a contract before March 1st. The festival is under new management that wants to show case the best so it is by invite only.

I am only helping out the Festival organizer so please limit your questions and criticisms. I know nothing of the Festivals past, I only want to help make it the best it can be and to help raise money for the kids.

Thanks,
Ferrell

Not to split hairs, but this isn't a "Festival", it's a contest/fundraiser.

[QUOTE]The Festival is a fund raiser for Child Protective Services and is a CLEAN show only

SIGH. Because abused children are going to be the audience?

Well...good luck with the show. Hope you raise lots of cash for the cause.

It has come to my attention that some people are concerned about why the
Mc Curdy's are not directly involved with this years Sarasota Comedy Festival!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY!!! I have only offered to be a talent orginizer because the charity is near and dear to my heart and they asked me too.
The Mc Curdy's are a fixture in west coast Florida comedy. Their room is one of the best in that area. I have only heard good things about them and would encorage all comics to work with them.

I just featured there - what an amazing time! I loved it. They are so good at running that room-highly professional in my opinion.
