Hundreds of comedians audition each year to compete in the Annual San Francisco International Stand Up Comedy Competition. Only thirty are chosen.

In 1976, the first year of the Comedy Competition, Robin Williams came in 2nd. That same year, Bob Sarlatte, the On-Field Master of Ceremonies for the San Francisco 49ers at 3Com Park, finished 3rd.

In years to come, many more talented comedians wouldemerge from the rounds of the San Francisco Comedy Competition.

1977 Comedy Champ Dana Carvey went on to Saturday Night Live. Marsha Warfield won in 1979, then starred as everyone's favorite Night Court bailiff. Two first runners up—Ellen DeGeneres and Mark Curry—landed their own TV series. 1993 Crown Prince Patton Oswalt kept the laughs going on the King of Queens.

San Francisco area natives Mark Pitta (1984 2nd Place), Will Durst (1983 Winner), and Johnny Steele (1992 Winner) are all regulars on Bay Area TV programs.

Comedy Competition Finalists have ended up in almost every entertainment genre.
