Comedy Rumble: Gilbert Edition at JP’s Comedy Club

The most fast-paced, high-energy stand-up competition in America is coming to Arizona! Comedy Rumble brings together a lineup of comics who each get just a few precious minutes to prove themselves, and the audience decides who stays in the fight. It’s comedy meets dojo discipline: sharp, focused, and no wasted time.

Here’s how it works:  

• Round One: 8 comics each perform 1 minute of their best material. The audience votes, and the top 4 advance.

• Round Two: The remaining 4 comics each perform 3 minutes, and the audience narrows it down to the final 2.

• Round Three: The finalists each perform 5 minutes, competing for the title of Comedy Rumble Closer.

• Finale: The winner earns a 10-minute closing set to end the night in style.

It’s rapid-fire, unpredictable, and built with the audience at the center—you decide who advances, who thrives, and who takes home the title.

Come cheer on Arizona’s comics, discover fresh voices, and be part of the energy as Comedy Rumble makes its debut at JP’s Comedy Club in Gilbert.
