Enjoy comedy the way it's intended. No holds barred, no punches pulled, and no f**ks given. Watch seasoned pros and future stars battle each other for supremacy. Good sets will be awarded, bad sets will be punished. Feelings will be hurt, fun will be had.

Comedy is at its best when it isn't scared to tell the truth. So let's stop pretending that the world is nice and fair, and help us celebrate each other by pointing out our differences and similarities that make us all amazing and utterly stupid.

Comedians’ Power Hour (CPH) is a touring comedy show that pits two comedians in head-to-head competition telling jokes and taking shots of beer on an exciting and inebriated journey to be crowned Power Hour Champion.

Like the college game it’s named after, a typical CPH has two comics drinking a shot of beer every two minutes, but in this show the competitors also trade off doing two minute sets of stand-up. As the hour goes on, hosts throw out challenges that play into the comics’ intoxication levels and include games like doing two minutes of another comics’ material or giving an improvised Best Man Speech.

The crowd gets to drink along, laugh, choose the winner of each challenge along the way, and even take the stage and for their very own audience-oriented challenges.
