Its story

Big Pine was held in the mountains around Flagstaff until autumn 2020, when it went online, and in 2021 began moving between clubs: House of Comedy in Phoenix in October 2021, then Mic Drop Comedy in San Diego in May and October 2022. Every accepted comic plays at least one industry showcase for club owners, bookers, managers and casting producers, and can win the Road Scholar Award, which the visiting industry guests and festival producers vote on.
