Round 1: Stand-Up Stand-Off Comedy Competition The Grindstone Stand-Up Stand-Off pits up-and-coming comedians from Edmonton and across Western Canada against each other for a chance at glory, $1000 in prizes and a shot at the festival main stage.

Each comic gets five minutes to bring their best jokes. One finalist each week will be chosen by our panel of comedy judges, and another will be voted through by our discerning live comedy audience. Don’t miss the one time this year when your vote will actually matter!

The Stand-Up Stand-Off Finals will be held on JULY 2 @ 9PM at the Grindstone Comedy Fest!
