 March Madnuts 2026

A One-Night Comedy Tournament

LIVE at the Fort Lauderdale Improv

16 Comedians.
One Stage.
One Night.
$500 Grand Prize.

Welcome to March Madnuts — a high-energy, bracket-style comedy showdown where South Florida’s funniest rising comics battle it out in rapid-fire elimination rounds.

Inspired by tournament season, this is comedy under pressure.

Every round, comedians get one minute to deliver their strongest material.
No filler. No warming up. Just punchlines.

The audience decides who advances.

 The Format

Round 1: 16 comedians – 1 minute each
Quarterfinals: 8 comedians – 1 minute each
Semifinals: 4 comedians – 1 minute each

Then the twist…

Before the final showdown, four previously eliminated comedians return for a surprise Improv Redemption Round — a fast-paced audience-driven game where anything can happen.

From there, the competition returns to its head-to-head elimination format.

Final Round: Top 2 – 3-minute sets

The audience crowns the champion!
