3 Strikes Comedy Competition at Edinburgh Castle Pub

The 3 Strikes Comedy Competition is an innovative stand-up battle where audience engagement is pivotal. Comedians perform a 5-minute set, with the first 2 minutes being a listening period, followed by potential audience intervention using red cards. If a performer receives three strikes, they are eliminated. Survivors move to a thrilling Final Round, performing a short set for audience applause. The winner not only receives a $150 cash prize but also gains the opportunity to headline next month’s Comedy Showcase, making it a sought-after platform for up-and-coming comedians.

In a unique twist, the audience participates directly in the 3 Strikes Comedy Competition, holding the power to decide a comedian's fate with red cards.

Comedians must not only perform well for the initial five-minute set but also manage the risk of audience strikes that could lead to elimination.

The final round of the competition is exhilarating, where finalists have just a minute to win over the crowd before the ultimate applause vote.

With a cash prize of $150 and the opportunity to headline the next showcase, the stakes are high for participants in this electrifying competition.
