Drop Your Shorts!
10-MINUTE COMEDY CONTEST

How many laughs can you pack into a ten-minute play? Join us to find out, as a wild variety of styles, stories, and subject matters go live onstage, each needing your vote to help determine who will walk away with $700 in cash prizes!

Two dozen of Denver’s funniest playwrights submitted their best ten-minute comedies, but only seven pieces could be selected to compete in the Final Round! These seven writers were given three months to cast, direct, and get their giggles together onstage for one single night of comedy gold… who will come out on top? Come on down and vote for your favorite!

Congratulations to the 2026 Finalists: Linda Berry, Lisa Wagner Erickson, Jim Hayes, Kelly Van Oosbree, David Austin Veal, Matt Wexler, Jenn Zuko
