Elijah Cross hasn't added a story.
I've been selected to perform in the 39th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competiton, a life-changing thing already, and an even bigger one should I end up winning, like my hero Mitch Hedberg did in 1997. The winner receives $5,000, a contract offer and paid headlining gigs. Just 32 comics get in, and I'm the sole representative from Pennsylvania this year.
The competition takes place over several weeks in November, and because of the format, I don't know how long I'll be staying and haven't purchased a ticket back home. It's going to be expensive since I can't get it in advance and it's the holiday season, so I'm asking for help!
The money will help me get a ticket home, and also help cover any other unexpected needs that come up during my time in Seattle (I have a food/gas budget covered, but a cushion is always a safe bet).
If you're able, I'd appreciate any help you can give, be it with a direct contribution or sharing this page.
Thanks so much, and here's to possibly coming back home a champion!
