Comedian Tommy Pope (2012 Just For Laughs Festival, 2011 Philly’s Phunniest Person) can be seen is this clip from last night’s episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon applauding comedy legend Steve Martin during his entrance to the show.

The South Jersey Comedy Festival will be a two day comedy extravaganza featuring over of stand-up comedians and improv comedy troupes from August 16th-17th 2013. Since South Jersey is within a small radius of several metropolitan areas, it is an ideal location to celebrate these forms of live comedy. Each day of the festival will celebrate a different form of live comedy; at the end of each night, we will crown a new winning comedian or improv troupe, which will win the title of “Best Stand-up Comedian/Improv Troupe,” and a CASH PRIZE! Every performer/troupe will be judged silently. The festival will take place at Harper’s Pub in Clementon, NJ ,in the heart of South Jersey.
More information and submission forms for the South Jersey Comedy Festival can be found online.
