The Devil Cup is an off-shoot of the Laughing Devil Festival. It was created by Steve Hofstetter, and is run by Matt Storrs, Hattie Hayes, and Tristan Miller, and a cast of very appreciated and beloved volunteers. The Devil Cup features a 48-comedian first round followed by two semi-final shows, and one final show. Comedy industry from all over the US and Canada will participate to help scout, expose, and offer work to some of today's top emerging comedians.48 comedians are chosen to compete. In the first round, each comedian performs one five minute set. 16 of those move on to the semi-finals, where they each perform a seven-minute set. 6 move on to the finals, where they each perform a ten-minute set. Material can not be repeated from round to round. By the finals, comedians will have performed 3 times, and 23 minutes. Winners receive cash, prizes, and work offers from comedy clubs, agents, and partner festivals. We look forward to seeing you in New York City! More Info below.
