The Finals of The 2021 Western Oregon Comedy Competition

Congratulations to Dash Thompson, Luke Miller, Tory Ward, Bryan Bixby, Jaren George, Eliza Butler, Marla Eyvette Massie, Dianna Potter, and Kayla Marie for moving on to The Finals of the Western Oregon Comedy Copy of november 16th, 2021 (4)Competition on December 14th at Langer’s Entertainment Center in Sherwood! Thank you to everyone that was a part of this year’s showcases and to our great hosts, Drew Wilson-McGrath and Tony Meyer!
 
In The Final round, the nine comics that moved forward will each have 10 minutes to dazzle the crowd in Sherwood! Unlike the Moonlight Theater or Keizer Homegrown, Langer’s is definitely more of a bar show is for those aged 21 and up. While the room can seat well over 200+, seating is limited for this show. As always, at the end of the show, a vote will take place to determine who walks away with the title of the 2021 WOCC champ!

At the end of every First Round show, everyone in attendance votes on who they think had the evening’s best performance. The three comics that receive the most votes in each individual heat will move on to The Finals on December 14th at Langer’s Entertainment Center in Sherwood. (All comics have 5 to 8 minutes. Doing less than or more than the allotted time may result in disqualification.)

And what happens next? The nine comics that moved on from the First Round shows will be invited to The Finals on December 14th! Exactly like in the First Round shows, after all the comics perform that night a vote will take place asking who had the evening’s best performance. The comic that receives the most votes gets the cash, future bookings, and the title of the 2021 Western Oregon Comedy Competition Champion!
 
1All shows start at 8 PM and run for approximately two hours (which includes the show and the voting). All shows are for ages 18 & up except for at nights at Langer’s Entertainment Center, which allows for ages 21 & up.
