Magooby's Joke House Presents... Our Monthly "New Talent Showcase & Competition"

Think you've got what it takes to make a crowd roar with laughter? Whether you're fresh to comedy, a seasoned open-miker, or already snagging paid gigs, Magooby's Joke House wants to see you on stage!

Every Month: We host our New Talent Showcase & Competition! The funniest act of the night scores a $150 cash prize and secures a spot in our annual New Comedian of the Year showdown. Fun fact: comedy superstars Stavros Halkias and Shane Gillis both launched their careers by winning Magooby’s New Comedian of the Year title! Our stage has been the launchpad for some of today’s biggest names, and now it’s your turn to see if you've got what it takes.

Winners are decided by a mix of audience vote and a jury panel. And yes, bringing friends helps you get more stage time—but the prize goes to the funniest performer, no matter how many people they bring. Past competitors know Magooby's always packs the house, giving you a shot to perform in front of a lively crowd of 350 in our Timonium comedy theater. This is your chance to work on your material, grow as a comedian, and maybe walk away a winner. Limited performance spots are available, so don’t wait—email andrew@magoobys.com for more details and to lock in your showcase slot.
