In its seventh consecutive year, NBC is proud to present another groundbreaking year of Stand-Up for Diversity. Through this initiative comedians of diverse backgrounds have been launched to new career milestones. Each year NBC selects 3-5 cities across the country and holds both auditions and live showcases of the top diverse talent from that area. At the end of the search a handful of comedians are brought back to Los Angeles to showcase for key industry players at NBC Universal and industry-wide. Many of the comics from last year's Best of Stand-Up for Diversity showcase signed with top Hollywood agents and met with the entertainment industry's leading casting directors and executives.
All Stand-Up for Diversity finalists had the opportunity to perform at the NACA (National Association of Campus Activities) national convention for major college bookers and an invitation to join the NACA/NBC Standup for Diversity college tour. This year's search will take us to four major U.S. cities. Top comics have a chance to be brought to Los Angeles to showcase in the Best of Stand-Up for Diversity show, sign a holding deal with NBC, perform at the NACA (National Association of Campus Activities) National Convention, join the company of the Stand-Up For Diversity Nationwide College Tour, and much more!!
