While we don’t say it has to be PG-13 we suggest a set that would work for television as that is a large part of our industry. But we also want you to be yourself. So if you’re dirty, be dirty.
While we love the young comics out there, our venues are required for you to be over the age of 18.
At Big Sky - we cover accommodations, transportation, food and activities for all selected comics. You just have to get to the festival!
We don't cover airfare. And while we may provide a free drink or two - most beverages will be covered by the comics.
We have a committee that watches every single submission, every single minute. They each have a scoring system and from there the committee makes their decisions based on scoring.
We are honored to have some of the best in the business join us at Big Sky. We have a mix of managers, commercial agents, club bookers, cruise line bookers, college bookers, TV bookers and more. Comics will get a chance to directly engage with all of these people throughout the festival.
