Ninety-eight comedians are now down to eight as the seventh annual Sunday Night Funnies (SNF) Kingpin of Comedy competition enters its final round on Sunday, Oct. 26.

“We have a good mix of comedians performing in the Kingpin finals this year,” says Brian B., MC and founder of the SNF.

Participating comedians hail from the Grand Rapids and Detroit areas, Holland and Buchanan.

“It’s a diverse lineup as well,” says Brian B. “Of the eight comedians performing, two are women and four of the comics are of color.”

The Kingpin of Comedy final round will also feature a drawing for a pair of tickets to comedian Adam Degi’s first standup comedy special recording on Nov. 14 at the Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids.

Degi will also be closing out the Kingpin Finals while the votes are being counted.

Prizes galore!

The Kingpin of Comedy winner will receive a prize package worth over $1,000.

“Seeing that Wyoming is the 14th largest city in Michigan, I thought that the overall winner deserved a prize package worthy of the title Most Humorous Human in Town,” says Brian B.

The prize package includes $500 cash, gift cards from LaughFest and GLC Live at 20 Monroe, as well as prizes from various Wyoming businesses and competition host Spectrum Entertainment Complex.

The winner also receives a bowling pin trophy and personalized “Kingpin” bowling shirt.
