Open casting call for comedians

The San Francisco Standard

We're looking for comedians who have something to say about San Francisco 

The San Francisco Standard is building a roster of on-screen comedy talent — funny, sharp people who can turn the news into something people want to watch.

Who we're looking for

We cover San Francisco obsessively — city politics, tech, housing, culture, food, and everything in between. We want comedians who are just as plugged in. The ideal candidate finds the absurdity in a Planning Commission hearing, can riff on the mayor's latest move, or knows exactly why a new restaurant opening in the Mission is a whole thing. You don't need a résumé or a big following. You need to be genuinely funny, quick, and curious about this city.

What this could look like

Think quick comedy built for the feed: man-on-the-street bits, sharp sketches, character takes, satirical takes on our coverage — the kind of thing that makes someone stop scrolling. Our audience knows this city; you don't have to explain it to them.

How it works

  1. Send us your clips — Share videos or links to comedy you've done before: sketches, short-form video, whatever best shows your voice and that you can deliver funny news-adjacent content about San Francisco.
  2. We'll reach out if it's a fit — Our team reviews submissions on a rolling basis. If we think you've got something, we'll get in touch.
  3. Paid development round — We'll commission a handful of original comedic segments based on our coverage — and pay you for them.
  4. Potential ongoing partnership — If the segments land, we'll publish them across our channels and explore a regular schedule together.

Ready to make us laugh?

Send your clips and a brief note about who you are.
