The World Series of Comedy (WSOC) is North America’s largest touring comedy festival and contest, featuring over 500 comics each season. Comics compete at live Satellite events across the country, leading up to The Main Event in Las Vegas, where the Top 101 performers vie for the title of WSOC Champion.

Founded by comedian Joe Lowers, the WSOC has launched countless comedy careers, with alumni appearing on America’s Got Talent, The Tonight Show, Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Ellen, and more. Part contest, part industry conference, the WSOC connects comics with club bookers, managers, and agents all while celebrating stand-up comedy.
