About this Event
Bring your favorite comedy legend back to life at the Dead Comedian Contest—part Halloween party, part comedy show, and part competition! Contestants learn 3–5 minutes of their favorite late comedian’s routine, dress like them, and channel their voice, mannerisms, and comic timing. Three judges deliver American Idol–style critiques: a booker from the Comic Strip, a representative from Troma Films, and a special guest celebrity judge. The audience gets a vote, too, so come ready to cheer for your favorites and help decide who brings their comic back to life best! Audience members are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes and join the fun—whether you’re competing or watching, it’s a night of big laughs and spooky celebration.
