Compete on The Gauntlet
Think you’re funny?
Cool. Now prove you’re versatile.
Mik Thomas Presents: The Gauntlet (at Mom’s Basement Theatre in Las Vegas) is a monthly live comedy competition where performers are pushed beyond a standard set and challenged to deliver in multiple formats in front of a live audience and judges.
Each show features 3 comedians, multiple rounds, and one $100 cash prize winner.
But this isn’t just stand-up.
We’re looking for well-rounded comedians who can:
command the stage
commit to a point of view
adapt to creative challenges
and deliver under pressure
Stand-up comics, storytellers, improvisers, sketch performers, character comedians - if you’re a funny performer, you belong here.
How it works
Selected contestants will compete in:
a Signature round (your strongest material)
a themed Gauntlet challenge (changes every month)
a Final Face-off (for the top performers)
Judges decide who advances. One winner takes the cash.
Who should submit
Comedians comfortable performing beyond a standard set
Performers with strong stage presence and original voice
Comics who are willing to take risks and commit to the bit
Anyone ready to compete, not just perform
If you can only do one style, this might not be your show.
If you can adapt, create, and deliver, we want to see you!
