(past pick) This contest sounds pretty pun…10 contestants each have two minutes to deliver puns based on a prompt they receive ahead of time, and are scored on a 1-10 scale by five audience-member judges. A second round gives contestants a prompt and 30 seconds to dream up two more minutes of puns. It all comes down to a final pun-off where the top four contestants take each other on. So sit back, relax and enjoy a pun-derful evening of word play and laughs.
press release: Doors at 6:00 pm | Show at 7:00 pm Pundamonium is a pun slam. That’s a kind of contest. One by one, 10 contestants have two minutes each to make puns based on prompts they have received ahead of time. Each contestant is immediately judged by five members of the audience, who have been selected before the show to be judges. They rank each punner on a scale of 1 to 10, often with hilariously long decimals and other commentary. Then they do it again, only this time contestants get their prompts on stage and only have 30 seconds to think and another two minutes to make puns. The top four contestants go head to head in a final pun-off. $7.
