StandUp NBC Sets Audition Cities For Diverse Comedians Search

NBC is going on a journey across the country to find the funny. The network has announced Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, New York and Seattle as the host cities for its 2019 StandUp NBC auditions.

With the exception of Chicago, each city will host a first-round open call, callbacks, and a semi-finalist showcase where last year’s StandUp NBC winner Mike E. Winfield will headline. If you are unable to make it to any of the host cities, don’t fret! In lieu of attending the first round open call, comedians can submit a video of a recent two-minute performance.

Celebrating it’s 15th anniversary StandUp NBC is the network’s annual nationwide search for stand-up comedians of diverse backgrounds. StandUp NBC boasts an impressive list of alumni including Hasan Minhaj (Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj), Lil Rel Howery (Get Out), Michelle Buteau (First Wives Club), W. Kamau Bell (United Shades of America), Deon Cole (Grown-ish), Amanda Seales (Insecure), Dulcé Sloan (The Daily Show) and Tone Bell (Fam).

The winner of StandUp NBC receives a talent holding deal with NBCUniversal and a headlining spot at the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) annual convention that is attended by talent bookers from across the country.
