Up Next signups

Quick reminder that only “B” sets are considered for the Up Next shows at the South club. If you are not a “B” and you sign up for the show, you will extend the amount of time it takes to get on New Talent Night.

Thanks for understanding. At this time there is no way to prevent C and N sets from signing up and it artificially increases the sign up numbers for the comics who do so. So I have to ask that you self police. Thanks again.

Login Issues?

Some of you have experienced issues logging into your account - some to a point where you are locked out altogether.

If you are locked out of your account, you will need to make a new account - new email, new password (please don't forget it).

Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to unlock accounts, and this will need to be the quick fix for the time being.

If you forget your password and haven't been locked out of your account, please continue to use the "forgot password" feature.

For Posterity's Sake

"Hi you've reached the [sign up website] for New Talent Night at Comedy Works.

This is where we'll post the list for [next week's] show, and also where you sign up for the [week after next's] show. To sign up just [login/create an account and register for the week after next's show].

Don't bother leaving your phone number [or anything else] and please only sign up if you're available for the [week after next's] show.

We get over 150 [online sign ups] on this [website] each week, so it takes a while to get on for your first time - usually about [holy shit, we have a backlog] weeks.

But if you're patient and sign up each week, eventually you will get on. All first timers get a 2 minute set to show us what they can do.

And please work on your act on other stages around town. For a list of those visit 5280comedy.com."

For those wondering, yes I did that from memory. Happy signing up!

Wow look at that, we're comin back! ... kinda!


New Talent Night is going to slowly roll out as restrictions lift. Please be patient as we are doing the best we can.


The way of voicemails and hotlines are being retired. We're updating our 80s technology and moving into the early 00's! Goodbye pagers! Hello AOL Instant Messenger! In other words, as we move forward to select comics for New Talent Night, we’ll use the website as our main resource. We encourage you to do the same.

If you haven't yet, please make a profile. Use the "forgot password" function for login credentials. Please check the show calendar for New Talent events for signing up. Normally we’d have shows booked in advance, but due to COVID, it will be a show by show. We’ll be making announcements on Facebook during gap times, but it’s a great time to develop a habit of checking back here for more info!

Thanks everyone!
