FunnyFest Society needs some help coordinating the 8 to 10 judges per show during the live in - person shows with a Judge Coordinator - Comedy Competition - April 18-27,2024. This role is exciting as you would confirm and coordinate the judges for each night of the competition. Some judges are local celebrities and / or from the media. It is a pretty straight forward position and a lot of fun. Plus you get to select some judges too!

Experience managing or scheduling people is preferred, but we would teach you. Plus you will have fun, all the while, learning many applicable skills and systems that we have created to make the events run tightly, with the best production values possible. The role could lead to contract work with FunnyFest Society. 

DETAILS: 50 competitors from across Canada and parts of the USA will be competing for $5000 over 10 nights during the 2024 or 24th Annual FunnyFest Comedy COMPETITION --- 10 nights;

The commitment time is 2 hours at a time, to 4 hours at a time. You can do this work remotely AND in - person at the shows. Of course it would be great if you can schedule the judges then meet them 40 minutes before each show. But you can simply coordinate and book them and you do not have to come to the shows if you do not have the time. If you elect to attend the events, after you have explained the simple instructions to the judges you can watch the show with your friends (you will be able to invite 4 friends free to come watch shows with you).

You will do many interesting and stimulating tasks that are important to accomplish, but are dynamic in nature --- You will set up the stage, lights, signage, sound and other elements to make the show run smoothly and easily. This opportunity is for people that want to learn in a environment that permits you to engage in many tasks, develop new skills and make an impact. The environment is supportive, yet sometimes challenging, and a constantly evolving and moving environment. You will be given an opportunity to use multiple sound systems and lighting packages. Plus a space to be creative. You would need a laptop computer to utilize MS Office (i.e. Word, Excel, Outlook) and other software. Your input is respected. 

PERKS: $1000 WORTH OF COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS ISSUED, WE PAY FOR GAS or Transit on occasion, Free snacks, coffee and tea. The TIME OF YOUR LIFE!
