Lincoln Theatre
November 30 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
The Lincoln Theatre becomes our home for a Finals show in Mount Vernon. The top five comedians battle for the night’s highest score and an opportunity for a shot at cash and prizes. The pressure is on as the comedians take the stage for 20-minute sets of their best material. Judges score the comedians and the audience adds one crucial role, the better response, the higher the score. One of these comics will be crowned Champ. Hosted by Christina Walkinshaw.
This event truly is the “Last Comic Standing”. The Competition attracts comedians from across North America and beyond. This event is one of the most prestigious comedy events in North America, launching the careers of people like Mitch Hedberg. It’s an outrageously funny evening, where you will see the comedy stars of tomorrow competing for their chance at fame and fortune. Hundreds of comedians audition each year to compete. Only 32 are chosen.
Your Host: Christina Walkinshaw
Finals Host
Christina Walkinshaw hosts the Finals. She’s a former Finalist in her own right. She is a Canadian stand up comic now living in New York. Her half hour comedy special often repeats in the middle of the night while you’re sleeping. You’ve seen her on Just For Laughs, The Winnipeg Comedy Festival, and she’s done multiple tours for the troops overseas. She’s been on CBC’s “The Debaters,” and she also makes (sporadic) appearances in the shower.
