Selection Process and Feedback
Women
in Comedy Festival submissions are open to comedians of all races,
creeds, religions, and genders. We accept international applications,
but are not able to contribute to travel expenses. Due to the volume of
applicants, we cannot give individual feedback as to why any given
application was not accepted. Each year, the festival has grown in
number and quality of applicants, so the selection process has become
increasingly selective.
Accepted Acts show lengths at WICF
Our
festival serves as a great showcase for industry and audiences to get
to see as many quality acts as possible over the course of four days, so
please be advised that show requests longer than what is stated below
are unlikely to fit into our programming, and second slots for any act
are solely at the discretion on the festival producers:
Genres and act lengths
- Category 1: Stand Up Comedy or Storytelling Stand Up Comedy*: 5-7 minutes
- Category 2: Improv Comedy: 25 Minutes

- Category 4: Musical Comedy (Scripted or unscripted. You may include some video/ multimedia in your live act): 25 minutes
- Category 5: Workshop Instruction: 45 minutes to 3 hours
*Storytelling
stand up is stand up comedy with one sustained story, a la Mike
Birbiglia or The Moth, but please be sure your storytelling stand up is
pack with as many laughs as any good stand up set.
