After nine whirlwind rounds of funny, the Sketch Com-Ageddon winner will receive a guaranteed spot in the 9th Annual Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival (TOSketchFest) in March, a cash prize, and comic supremacy!

Several award-winning troupes will compete for the championship title including the 2013 Steam Whistle Brewing Producers' Pick Award-winners The Rocket Scientists, the 2013 Sketchiest Sketch Troupe Fratwurst, and the defending champs Rulers of the Universe, the 2012 Sketch Com-Ageddon winners.

Over five-nights of absurdity, competing troupes have mere minutes to prove to the SketchFest Panel and audience voters that they deserve the Sketch Com-Ageddon title. Throughout nine rounds, 43 troupes will be blasted down to four in a comedy relay to the finals. In the Preliminary Rounds troupes have five minutes to impress; during the Semi-Finals troupes have ten minutes to triumph. The final four troupes have only fifteen minutes to win over audience voters to become the Sketch Com-Ageddon Champions!
