The PUNDERDOME, New York’s MOST Puntastic Compuntition, returns to the Highline Ballroom on Monday November 19th for its first ever College and Corporate Challenge (event is 18+)!  Witness punning at its best as Pun Stars from Improv Groups at Columbia, Fordham and NYU AND Punsters representing NYC’s Corporations/Organizations pun-it-up with the PUNDERDOME Champs – the best punners in the USA!  Winners earn town bragging rights, kitchen appliances and/or “As Seen on TV” items. PUNDERDOME is the wild & crazy pun competition created by “Rodney Dangerfield impersonator” Fred Firestone and his alleged daughter, comedian Jo Firestone.  The alleged dad will be hosting tonight.  Pun-masters are determined by the “Human Clap-O-Meter” who “accurately and scientifically” assesses levels of audience applause.  Warning for the faint of heart: the ’DOME is the spectator sport; it gets loud – decide to attend at your own risk! Part of NYC’s comedy landscape since 2011, 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." "(Punderdome is) 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." - The New York Times "The lowly pun has long been considered the bottom-feeding bristle worm of the comedy world.... That has changed with the arrival of the Punderdome, a now monthly event that has turned punning into a high-functioning competition that is equal parts stand-up, beat poetry" - The New York Post "Can you imagine a more potent cure for the weekday blues? Here was concentrated, unabashed silliness that I longed to bottle and smuggle out in my purse." - The New Yorker "The 5 Best Things To Do In NYC Tonight" - CBS New York
