Getting to this point was no small feat.

More than 150 aspiring comedians entered this year’s competition, armed with their own original material and hoping to prove they are among the funniest in the state. That field has now been narrowed to just eight finalists, including LP.

And if you know LP, you know he had to put his own spin on making it this far.

“I might be the shortest comedian in the competition but I’ve come too far to come up short now,” LP said. “4-Foot Giant planting footprints of success every step of the way.”

Now, he’s looking for West Alabama to show up and make some noise for him in the finals.

Fans planning to attend can call the Stardome at 205-444-0008 and let them know they are coming to see Comedian LP to receive 20% off their ticket.

For listeners who hear LP every morning alongside Big Dawg DreDay, Sunday is a chance to see him take his comedy from the morning show to one of Alabama’s biggest comedy stages.

More than 150 started.

Eight remain.

And one of them is Tuscaloosa’s Comedian LP.
