Watch, laugh, groan, or JOIN word nerds from across the city in a battle to see who's the punniest of them all—and win prizes!

Write down as many puns as you can think of on a given topic in two minutes during "Punslingers." You can do this in teams and you can sign up for it at the show. 3. Go head-to-head with opponents in a tournament-style pun-off in "The Punger Games." It's like the nerdiest rap battle you've ever seen. Skip ahead in this video a bit to see examples of how a truly epic pun-off goes. Pundemonium is hosted by Sarah Flocken, two-time champion of Beltway Pundits in Washington, D.C., panel judge at the 2021 O. Henry Pun-Off World Championships and lover of the card game Punderdome.
