Bill Word began producing the
Orange County's Funniest Person Contest™ in 2002. What began as another vehicle to promote Orange County
comedy and feature some of the funniest comedians in the area today,
has become a contest that decides each year who is Orange County's Funniest™. The contest has been featured on NBC, PBS, Public Radio and the front page of the Orange County Register. The
list of comedic competitors have television credits which include
NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central, The Tonight Show and
Oprah!
