All puns are intended! San Diego's ONLY pun competition returns to the Finest City Improv stage on Friday, May 10! 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! Pundemonium! is a three-part event based on the format used by pun contests in cities nationwide: 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. We ask that Battle of the PUNdits let us know you're competing ahead of time by emailing sandiegopundemonium@gmail.com. Part 2, 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. Sign up in advance at sandiegopundemonium@gmail.com OR on the spot at Pundemonium! Winners of each round will get the coveted Golden Nugget chicken trophy to take home. Because our intrepid host Sarah Flocken will be out of town competing at the O. Henry Pun-Off World Championships in Austin, TX, this Pundemonium will be led by our wonderful guest host Diana Gruber. Diana is a frequent Pundemonium competitor, a fellow alumni of the O. Henry Pun-Off, and a polyglot capable of making puns in multiple languages. For more information visit: finestcityimprov.com Stay Connected on Facebook
