TCS Funniest Person

TCS’s Funniest Person Contest


It’s that time of year again, but with a small change in name! Our beloved Funniest Person with a Day Job contest will now be known as TCS’s Funniest Person—we found the original title was a bit too long for the check. This year marks our 18th annual contest, and the popularity continues to grow each year.


How to Enter: Participation is open to all, with just one requirement: 5 minutes of original material. Our panel of guest judges and professional comedians will score the performances. Win three rounds, and you’ll walk away with a $1,000 grand prize and your name will be engraved on the prestigious James Kerr Award.


Contest Dates: The contest will run every Tuesday for 7 weeks:



  • April 15: Round 1

  • April 22: Round 2

  • April 29: Round 3

  • May 6: Round 4

  • May 13: Semi Final 1

  • May 20: Semi Final 2

  • May 27: The Final


How to Submit: Simply submit your entry online for a chance to secure a spot in the contest. Please note: Entries are limited, so be sure to enter early. The final date to submit is April 2, 2025.


We look forward to seeing you bring your best material to the stage!
