THE FRIARS CLUB IMPROV + SKETCH COMPETITION ANNOUNCES
FINALISTS FOR INAUGURAL CONTEST
TO BE HELD AT UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE THEATRE

 

The Friars Club Improv + Sketch Competition (FrISC) has announced the 10 finalists for the 2010 inaugural contest.  Launched in conjunction with the Friars Club Comedy Film Festival, FrISC is the newest Friars Club effort aiming to foster the future generation of comedy filmmakers.  Open to improv and sketch performers worldwide, FrISC seeks to explore the depth of talent in the improv and sketch communities in order to discover the next comedy film legends and help advance their careers to the next level. 

 

The Friars Club Comedy Film Festival has selected the best 5 improv and the best 5 sketch submissions to perform at the first-ever FrISC event at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City on June 25  and 26.  The 10 FrISC finalists will compete in the live competition where a judges panel made up of Friars and comedy stars will select the top team in each category.  Each winning team will receive a cash prize of $10,000 to be used to make a short film that will debut at the Friars Club Comedy Film Festival this September.
