Comedy Quartet Festival

Comedy Quartet Festival • July 2 • Denver, Colorado

Bring the zany! Bust a chord and bust a gut! MAKE 'EM LAUGH!

FUN LEADS THE WAY in the Comedy Quartet Festival!

Combining traditional barbershop contest scoring, audience balloting, and a small dose of pixie dust (see participant guide,) the entire crowd will show their appreciation for the twelve quartets who bravely put their funniest bits on the Festival stage.

The festival is open to ALL quartets, regardless of affiliation, organization, or gender. Qualification is NOT required. Space is limited to ten quartets, so don’t delay!

Each quartet will perform two songs in front of an enthusiastic audience.

  • Both songs must be comedic in nature, and in good taste.

  • Each performance must include at least one contestable barbershop song.

  • There is a twelve-minute time limit per quartet.

Each performing group will receive a score and rating (Superior, Outstanding, Excellent, Good).

    • Each performer will receive a Contestant Scoring Analysis (CSA).

    • Performers may opt out of sharing their ratings on the Official Score Sheet.

ENTRY DEADLINES

The entry deadline is May 15, 2025.

  • Space is limited, and this event may reach capacity before the deadline (complete your entry early to ensure a spot).
  • The order of appearance draw is expected to occur in late May 2025.
