The FUNNIEST comic in New England contest!

Just wanted to let you know about a great contest going on right now called
“The Funniest Comic in New England.”

They give away over $9,500 in prizes (not to mention connections you make with comics & bookers at clubs around New England).

One of the judges this year is Eddie Brill from The Late Show with David Letterman.

The producer, a nice dude from Treehouse Comedy in Connecticut, contacted the VCC to lament that Vermont is the only state in New England that’s been unrepresented in the contest in past years. We told him we’d help remedy that.

Because they want comics representing EVERY state in New England, if you’re a solid VT comedian, you’ve got a good shot at going to the quarter-finals.

Here are the details:

How to Enter:

1. Click this link and register in the “Newcomers” division.

2. Pay the $25 entry fee via PayPal or credit card by clicking this link.

3. Email a YouTube link of 9 minutes or less (7 is ideal) to: TreehouseComedy@charter.net

Deadline: January 15, 2012.

If you are selected to move on to the next round(s) in CT, these will be the dates:

Prelim/Quarter Finals*: Fri, Feb 17th & Sat, Feb 18th
Semifinals/Finals*: Fri, Feb 24th & Sat, Feb 25th
* Happens in the 350-seat theater at Mohegan Sun in CT!

Prizes: Cash prizes in 2011 were over $9,500.

This is a great opportunity to get to perform and compete on a bigger stage (literally and metaphorically).

So go on, awesome VT comedians – enter the contest, get yourself to the next round, and go do Vermont comedy proud!

Let me know if you have any questions.
