COMEDY GONG SHOW: VOTE COMEDIANS OFF THE STAGE - 1 Winner

Live stand up comedy competition where 12 comedians start and only 1 wins. Ticketed show (read description).

WHAT IS IT?

The only show of it's category in Lisbon is back: Selva Comedy Café presents an interactive show where you decide who wins. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Yes, this is a live competition.

And if you've never seen a Gong Show, fair warning: it's merciless 😮‍💨

Each comedian gets 30 seconds before judges (audience members) can raise a red card ❌

Each card raise triggers a bell

3 red cards = you're out

No questions asked, no time to finish your joke.

To survive and advance, comedians must complete 3 full minutes onstage with maximum 2 red cards. If they survive, they move to the next round

In round 2, we repeat, and the final winner is chosen by audience vote from the survivors.

WHY IS IT FUN?

First off all, who doesn’t like to watch people struggle?

(Under safe circumstances 😂)

This show can be very stressful for comedians, because they are trying to convince you that they’re worth it.

And that's a challenge when your parents have made it clear that you aren't. 😮‍💨

But, they’re all here voluntarily and that will give us memorable moments and a night full of laughter.

The good thing is that, in the end, we all go home being better comedians, better friends, and more empathetic people (except the judges, we need you to be critical).

Additionally, judges are rotated frequently so you! get a chance of being a judge (if you want).

You will see about 10 different comedians competing for the prize, which means there will be plenty of opportunities for you to be a judge.
