67th Ever Bay Area Pun-Off, Early Show * 7pm

TEN YEARS STRONG!

The Bay Area Pun-Off is a proud San Francisco comedy staple: celebrating a diverse community of wordplayers and countless unfortunate bystanders (and sitters) in the warmest show in comedy. Bolstered by groans, eye rolls, and the ever-sought-after double-handed facepalm, we offer equal parts ironic triumph and gleeful apology.

At the Pun-Off, we are proud to invite you to celebrate the contagious power of the pun, the lowest form of comedy, the highest form of intellect; a prized tool of parents, kindergarten teachers, Facebook trolls, and Witzelsucht patients everywhere!

NOTE TIME FOR EARLY SHOW: Doors open at 6:30 pm // Main events start at 7:00 pm

AUDIENCE: please get a General Admission ticket.

Punslingers will battle fellow punsters in lightning rounds of freestyle, category-specific punning.

To compete, please send us a note at info@worldwidepuns.com to indicating interest in joining our bullpen of punslingers. We’ll send out an email to let you know if and when all the names have been chosen.

**First timers very welcome - you will be well-prepped at the event**.

Finally, remember: At the Pun Off, jokes don't have to be funny; but they do have to be puns.

The Pun Off warmly encourages punsters of all backgrounds, identities, persuasions, and inclinations to attend.

Note, there is a flight of stairs at the Faight Collective space; so wheelchairs cannot be accommodated (unless you'll allow us to get creative). We are truly sorry for this, and are working to find a suitable solution.

We encourage a scent-free event - please be mindful with your dryer sheets, detergent scents, colognes, sprays, spritzes, and perfumes.

If the price is a serious obstacle, please contact the organizer to inquire about options. We aim to turn away no-buddy and we enjoy the company and labor of volunteers.

Please don't contact the organizer for refunds or exchanges. If you can't make it, find someone to take your tickets.

***This is a very silly event and the judge's decisions are final.
