As a young comic starting out in the El Paso open mic scene eventually you get to the point where you want to prove your mettle. That's why God invented comedy contests!

COMEDY CONTESTS

They're generally all the same with slight variations. Comics sign up, everybody gets 2 to 5 minutes, and are judged by either by the audience, or a panel of judges, or some combination.

Prizes for winning a comedy contest can range anywhere from a free appetizer to $2,000 and a paying booked gig, maybe. The biggest thing a comedy contest does is get a comedian in front of some eyeballs, and maybe someone who wants to book them. Most working comics don't have a lot of currency in the form of actual money, it's usually their skills on stage, their skills promoting themselves, and their skills at making friends that they have at their disposal.
