This March, 32 stand-up comedians including Mike Birbliga, Craig Ferguson, and Brian Posehn go head-to-head in a bracket hosted by Spotify, with prizes for fans.

Each week, jokes from the comedian's most recent albums get matched up with a different comedian's, fans vote, and the most popular move on to the next round. By voting, fans can enter to win a free 6-month Spotify subscription, or a comedy prize pack courtesy of New Wave Dynamics.

The bracket features 32 of the best stand-up comedians in the business, featuring Grammy-nominated acts Craig Ferguson and Bob Saget, stand-up legend Doug Stanhope, critically-beloved Mike Birbiglia, and alternative comedy darlings Brian Posehn and Moshe Kasher.
