The Main Event of The World Series of Comedy |
Nightlife |
| Event Description: |
Excitement continues to build as Casino Queen is preparing to welcome one of the best and biggest comedy festivals in the nation to the St. Louis region for the first time Sept. 23-28. The World Series of Comedy (WSOC), a live stand-up comedy festival, is designed to showcase the top 101 touring professional comedians who will take to the stage during The Main Event, which will feature an entire week of comedy shows. Audience members will have an opportunity to vote for their favorite comedians to help determine who will reign as the new king or queen of comedy.
The festivities get underway with a Wildcard Night on Monday evening with shows at 6 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Each show features 15 comedians, performing for five minutes with eight comics advancing to Round 2. Tuesday through Friday the shows are at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., and will feature eight comics performing for eight minutes each, with the first and second-place finishers from each show moving on to the semi-final rounds on Saturday. Saturday’s finals include a series of three shows, with the second-place finishers from earlier in the week going head to head at 6 p.m. The winner of that show will join the first-place finishers at 8 p.m. and the evening wraps up with a 10 p.m. face-off between the top three comics and ultimately, the crowning of The Main Event champion for 2019.
Individual show tickets and events passes for The Main Event are available at www.wsoctickets.com, where people will also find links to the Top 101. Group discounts are available for groups purchasing 20 tickets or more, and local charities are invited to inquire about fundraiser tickets they can then sell to help raise funds for their organizations.
