MESSENGER: m.me/punderdome PUNDERDOME® is the wild & crazy monthly pun compuntition that’s been part of New York’s comedy landscape since May 2011. In June of 2020, the pandemic forced a change from Stage to Virtual, which was based on the Punderdome® Card Game. And, the focus was “Beyond NYC” – our Virtual ’Dome punticipants included Pun Champions from Australia, Malaysia, the UK, as well as from throughout the US. Warning for the faint of heart: the ’Dome is a spectator sport – decide to attend at your own risk! Action: bit.ly/1BnQQhc

The New York Times referred to the Punderdome® as “both an endearingly homemade and impressively high-caliber show during which astute wordsmiths (including a crew of beloved regular punsters) spin clever and very funny puns to a packed house.” GQ Magazine shouted the Punderdome® as one of the “5 Funniest Nights in America,” and quoted comedian Chris Gethard on why it’s great: “The crowd. You’d think you were at the Roman Colosseum. They’re passionate, to a level that feels dangerous. And to reiterate, this is a pun competition.” bit.ly/1Ib9JHo And, Swing American said: “The intellect on display is stunning. Hardly a pun is repeated throughout the entire night. What Punderdome ends up achieving is the transformation of the delivery of the lowly pun to one of the greatest displays of human ingenuity contemporary New York has to offer.”
