College Comedians to Hit the Stage in February for the Fifth Annual Rooftop Comedy National College Comedy Competition, Presented by TBS and Sponsored by Wendy's

TBS and Rooftop Comedy are teaming up for the fifth annual TBS Presents Rooftop Comedy National College Comedy Competition (NCCC), a nationwide search for America's funniest college students. Students from 32 colleges and universities from around the country will take part in the stand-up comedy competition, presented by TBS and sponsored this year for the first time by Wendy's. The top comedians will then have the opportunity to perform at the TBS Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Chicago this June.

"It's been amazing to watch this competition grow over the past four years into one of the largest comedy series of its kind," says Rooftop CEO Will Rogers "Every year the NCCC has gotten bigger and more dynamic. This year, we'll have thousands of students attending our expanded lineup of live events and hundreds of thousands viewing new types of comedy content and voting online."

The high-stakes, no-holds-barred competition begins with talent search events that are free and open to all students on 32 competing campuses (complete schedule and Official Rules attached). At each event, students perform live stand-up routines, and the audience selects the funniest eight to represent their school. The competition narrows the field through a series of additional live events and online voting rounds, concluding in May with the announcement of the winning team and four MVPs, all of whom will have the chance to perform alongside comedy greats at the TBS Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Chicago in June.

"This competition is a great opportunity for us to engage directly with college students all over the country and get an up-close view of what makes them laugh," said Dennis Adamovich, Senior VP of Brand and Digital Activation/General Manager of Festivals for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies (TCM). "We are thrilled to be joining up with Rooftop Comedy once again on this exciting event."
