The Clean Comedy Challenge Tickets

The Clean Comedy Challenge is a dynamic, non-audition comedy bootcamp designed for performers who want real-world feedback, stage time, and a path to recognition in the stand-up community. Led by seasoned comedian and educator Leslie Norris Townsend, with collaborators like Joby Saad, this three-day event blends critiques, performances, writing sessions, seminars, and a nightly contest. Past editions have crowned champions such as Tim Hammer (2025) and Tonja D (2024), with a lineage dating back to 2019.

Each edition invites applications on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants are not required to audition, making it accessible for comics at various stages of their careers. The winner takes home the best available price in cash, along with additional opportunities that can help launch or elevate a comedian’s trajectory. The format is designed to be practical, supportive, and focused on turning material into stage-ready performances.

Whether you’re refining your voice, testing new bits, or seeking mentorship from established figures in the comedy world, The Clean Comedy Challenge offers a constructive environment and valuable exposure in front of industry judges and peers.

Upcoming tour and event dates are announced as venues finalize their schedules. The 2026 edition is set for July 16–18, 2026 at The Lodge at Five Oaks in Sevierville, TN, while the 2025 edition crowned its winner at The Ahern Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. Judges for the 2025 event included notable names such as Jann Karam, Bob Zany, Erin O’Connor, Rich Natole, Lorenzo Clark, Leslie Norris Townsend, and Joby Saad, reflecting the event’s established credibility in the comedy circuit.
