This will leave 26 spots for the "All Remaining Comics" division.

Winners from the payoffs will then compete for a second time in the semi finals on Saturday May 2nd at 7:30pm and 10:30pm with four winners from each show selected, totaling 8 winners. The 8 winners from the semi finals will then have 10 minutes each for the finals. Material must be original, accurately timed, performed in English and can be repeated.
This contest is open to anyone except residents of Quebec, regardless of their sense of humour and how they spell it.
