The 8th Annual One Liner Madness

64 comedians. 126 jokes. 1 champion.

For the 8th year, The New York Times recommended ONE LINER MADNESS collects the best, brightest, and weirdest of the New York comedy scene for a rapid-fire, single-elimination, bracket-style joke-off that goes from 64 comedians to a winner in 100 minutes. Audience applause determines who becomes the 2025 ONE LINER CHAMPION and winner of the trophy and cash prize.

Proceeds (after top performing comic payouts) go to Shelter Chic Animal Rescue.

Hosted by Emily Winter (NPR, The New Yorker), Larry Mancini (ESPN Radio) and 2024 champion Jaron Young.
