Virtual Realty
Funniest VR Stand-Up
Adult 18+
Kenan Thompson and his team understand that there are many talented comedians and comedy fans that are unable to attend the LIVE shows around the country. So, Kenan partnered with the premier virtual reality comedy brand Failed To Render to help bridge the gap between the venues and the MetaVerse.
This 13th season we will embark into the virtual realty world, using Failed To Render’s multiple comedy clubs within the digital realm. Our adventure into this whole new platform is exciting, because we want to discover the funniest comedians in Meta’s Horizon & AltSpaceVR.
If you are a comedian and have a VR headset, strap it on and join us for a completely unique experience.
