Live Stand-Up Comedy Competition
The Heartland Comedy Cup is a live stand-up comedy competition bringing some of the Midwest’s best emerging comedians to Norfolk for a night of high-stakes laughs.
Each comic performs a tightly crafted set in front of a live audience and a panel of professional judges. Performances are scored using a weighted system that blends professional judging with audience input, rewarding strong material, delivery, and stage presence, not popularity alone.
For audiences, this isn’t just another comedy show. It’s a competition you can follow. Watch comedians return, improve, and earn their way forward—while you help decide who advances.
For comedians, the Heartland Comedy Cup is a proving ground. Real stage time. Real feedback. Real opportunity.
Rooted in Midwest work ethic and built in Norfolk, this is stand-up comedy with stakes—where wins are earned on stage and the crowd plays a meaningful role in the outcome.
Come laugh, vote, and be part of something Norfolk can claim as its own.
