TRIVIA CLUB COMEDY 100 : Announcement and CALL FOR BALLOTS
August 04, 2014- The TCC 100 is based solely on comedic PERFORMANCE. There are a lot of hilarious writers, directors, and producers, but this list looks to celebrate the performance aspect of comedy. Performers include those in improv, sketch, stand-up, stage, song, film, television, and podcasts. Yes, all comedic performances across all audio and video formats, live or recorded. So yes, this includes Vine and other social media video but does NOT include twitter and other social media writing. They can also be local AND international, since the concept of the TCC 100 is in its infancy, DIVERSITY in ballots is a WELCOME sight. Though one more time, try your best to keep your ballot filled with comedy performers.
- Since this is the first run for the TCC 100, what’s in consideration for any given comedian’s output can be a bit more bendable then it will be on future editions of the TCC 100. Suffice to say we’ll be looking at the funny from the start of October 1st, 2013 to the end of October 31th, 2014.
- Ballots shall have a minimum of 25 comedians named in order and a maximum of 100 comedians named in order. Ballots between those two numbers inclusive will be accepted with no questions, as long as they are ranked in order. Ballots with 24 or fewer and unordered ballots will be thrown out. Ballots with 101 or more will be pared down to 100.
- If you want to list a comedic duo, troop, cast, you must list the individual members and NOT the collective. So, if you want to include Broad City, then list Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer as separate entities. Not “Broad City” as one entry. All entries for a collective of comedians will be ignored on said ballot (or at the very least, you will be e-mailed for clarification).
- No eligibility requirements for submission of a ballot are in place. As long as the submitter likes and has watched comedy in 2013/2014, they're allowed to submit. The final list will be disseminated via slow release on the Trivia Club blog, through the facebook page, and potentially on our podcast network, with blurbs written by ballot submitters. If you are interested in writing for the release, please let me know with your ballot. Your blurbs should be at least one paragraph explaining why you voted for that particular comedian.
