Cedric the Entertainer will be giving away $1000 a week to the funniest joke that makes him laugh through Comedy Pays. The online contest, announced by the comedian in a video (you can watch it above), was co-created by Kapital Entertainment’s new digital division and Cedric’s A Bird and A Bear Entertainment.
Submissions are open, with the first winner announced February 1, 2024 and a new joke awarded each week following. The competition will be promoted via social media, comedy clubs and universities.
While Comedy Pays will own the short video (duration is limited to 1 min) of the contestants telling their jokes, that does not involve ownership of the underlying material, the jokes themselves.
Comedy Pays extends the longstanding relationship between Cedric’s A Bird and A Bear Entertainment and Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment. The companies are also partnered on the hit CBS comedy series The Neighborhood, whose sixth season premieres in February.
