After three successful years, LBCF4 ALL INCLUSIVE promises to be our best ever, giving away $10,000 in total prize money. Held exclusively at the new Buddha Room in midtown, this year is different as ALL registrants will be entered into the festival. Most entrants will face an opening elimination round, but the top submissions will begin in the ensuing preliminary round. Winners will move on to the quarterfinals, semis, and finals, with a chance to win $$$ at each step.

Prize money will begin in the preliminary round, with the top act in each show receiving $100. The quarterfinal winners will receive $200 each, the semis $250, and the grand finale: 3rd place $500, 2nd place $1,000, and the grand-prize winner $3,500 and a year's worth of spots. This is the largest price ever for a comedy festival in NYC.

What makes this year different is not just the $10,000 in total prize money and the industry that has already been requested to attend, but that each and every submission is guaranteed a spot to compete. We wish you the best!
