🍅 Big Tomato Comedy Festival: A Feedback Festival

August 20–23 | San Diego, CA | Mic Drop Comedy

The Big Tomato Comedy Festival is San Diego’s only comedy festival built specifically for comedians who are serious about improving their craft and advancing their careers.

Hosted at Mic Drop Comedy San Diego in collaboration with Big Pine Comedy Festival, this intimate, professionally produced festival places comics directly in front of working industry professionals (club owners, bookers, producers, and managers) who are actively invested in developing new talent.

Every accepted comic performs in a focused showroom setting and receives written, individualized feedback on each set, along with a personalized evaluation packet from our visiting industry members. Participants also receive exclusive Cliff Notes summaries from all festival workshops and panels, ensuring that the education continues well beyond the stage and the fest.

In addition, comics will have the opportunity to participate in guided writing round tables with professional comedians and writers, as well as receive an individualized 1:1 professional consultation. Big Tomato Comedy Festival is intentionally designed to strengthen both your material and your career … in real time.

Beyond performance and education, participants receive accommodation discounts, daily complimentary “family meals” with fellow performers and industry guests, and structured networking opportunities that foster meaningful, lasting professional relationships.

Big Tomato is not about chasing trophies.
It’s about sharpening your voice, refining your material, and learning how the industry truly works.

If you’re ready for honest notes, professional insight, and real career development … this is your festival.

COMEDY ASSASSINS - NETWORKING GAME

Get ready for the newest, most competitive, and hilarious event in the comedy world! Comedy Assassins, brought to you by Broken Drift Productions, is an exciting networking game where comedians can connect, compete, and show off their creativity all while earning cash prizes and redeeming points for fun rewards. This high-energy, interactive game is the adult version, inspired by the classic high school “Senior Assassins” game … except now it’s all about comedy, building your camaraderie in your local scene, content creation, and expanding your audiences!

Over two months, you’ll be assigned random participating targets from within your local comedy scene. Your mission? Tag your targets, escape being tagged, and rack up points for hilarious social media posts, successful missions, and completing challenges. Every successful tag earns you points that can be redeemed for cash, stage time, consultations, exclusive comedy festival submissions, and even professional evaluations like EPK reviews and social media audits.

Comedy Assassins is the perfect way to network with other comics, gain exposure, and level up your career. This isn’t just a game, it’s a content creation haul! Post about your tags, your escapes, and your experiences to earn points on social media while building your online presence. The more creative and engaging your content, the more points you collect, and the bigger the prizes you can unlock. Plus, if you happen to get eliminated, you can grab a “revival life” for just $5, allowing you to get back in and continue hunting down your targets.

Each city has its own prize pool, but every player has the opportunity to win something. Whether it’s cash prizes for staying alive or exclusive rewards for hitting key milestones, Comedy Assassins ensures that everyone walks away with something valuable. Plus, players can earn bonus cash and points by choosing to “tag” players from other cities … earning bonus cash, expanding your reach, and adding an extra layer of excitement to the game.

Don’t wait! Join Comedy Assassins now, compete for epic prizes, create content that showcases your comedic chops, and network with the best in the business. It's the ultimate combination of fun, competition, and career-building in the comedy world!

The Journey: A Cautionary Tale for Comics (Digital Download)

Cautionary Tale Guide: Power & Pitfalls of References

The fine print matters. So does your reputation.

In comedy, references can open doors—or close them for good. The Cautionary Tale Guide: Power & Pitfalls of References explores the real-world consequences of embellishment, assumption, and poor professional conduct. This isn’t a vague warning. It’s based on true scenarios experienced by bookers and producers who’ve seen talented comedians lose credibility due to careless networking, misleading references, or not fully understanding their role in a club.

Inside this guide, you’ll explore:

  • What happens when your name is dropped without consent
  • Why clubs do talk to each other, and what they say matters
  • The risks of overstating your stage credits or experience
  • How to build—and maintain—genuine industry relationships
  • Why trust is your most valuable currency in comedy

This guide also dives into deeper topics like:

  • Understanding your role within a comedy club and how not to overstep
  • The “Party Role” myth and how to navigate it with professionalism
  • Common missteps in hosting, featuring, or emceeing
  • The power of presence and why simply showing up matters
  • How your behavior off-stage influences your future bookings

Whether you're a rising comic or a seasoned performer, this guide is a must-read for anyone who wants to earn trust, build real connections, and avoid self-sabotage in the industry.

📥 After purchasing, you’ll receive an email from our Comedian Education team with your digital download link. If you have any issues accessing your file, please contact Camille@MicDropComedy.com and we’ll help you out.

Let this guide be a reality check and a roadmap. Because in this business, your reputation isn’t just part of the game—it is the game.
