  • All puns are intended! Calling all lovers of dad jokes: San Diego's only pun competition returns on Saturday, September 25 at 9 p.m. on the Finest City Improve Comedy Pub patio at Hilcrest. Watch, laugh, and groan as word nerds from across the city battle to see who's the punniest of them all (and win prizes). This month, Pundemonium! is a three-part contest: - In Part 1, Battle of the PUNdits, participants who have signed up in advance will deliver two-minute pun-filled speeches, and the audience will determine the winner. Want to take part? Email Sarah Flocken at sarah.flocken@gmail.com - In Part 2, PUNslingers, punsters get two minutes to write down as many puns on a given topic as they can. May the best and most puns win. Anyone can sign up for this part on the spot! - Part 3, the PUNger Games, is a head-to-head pun-off tournament-style, where participants go back and forth making puns on a given topic until they just can't anymore. Think of it as a rap battle, but with puns. As with Part 2, anyone can sign up for this part on the spot! The event will be hosted by Sarah Flocken, a two-time champion of Beltway Pundits in Washington, D.C. and lover of the card game Punderdome. Reserve your tickets here! No cover charge!
