Comedians interested in performing at The Lou Laugh Lounge must be 21 or older and available for in-person taping in St. Louis, Missouri. To sign up, complete the comedian sign-up form, and upload a headshot/image of yourself. You must also follow @theloulaughlounge on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Each week, three comedians will perform 8-10-minute sets, and one will advance based on online audience votes. Voting takes place on our social platforms, and votes only count if the voter likes, follows, and subscribes.

Weekly winners compete in the Week 4 finale for a chance to host the next The Lou Laugh Lounge cycle, earn a 30-minute comedy special filmed by Rocking Horse Films, and be featured across all of our media platforms. Sets rules—no hate speech, excessive vulgarity, or discriminatory content.
