The Rejection Show returns live in a "Summerfest of Rejection" with 11 (eleven!) shows throughout the summer to celebrate the launch of the new REJECTIONSHOW.COM!!

Anything goes! Spread the word and send in your rejected material and or stories and insights. Updated daily (eventually!)

"On the surface, The Rejection Show is a mere demonstration of unsuccessful work by usually successful comedians, writers, filmmakers, and cartoonists. Deep down, though, it provides an interesting look into the thought processes of magazine editors, network executives, and others who wield power."
–THE ONION
"Ever wonder what you're not seeing? Each month comedians perform pieces that have been rejected by anything from Conan O'Brien to The New Yorker..."
–TIMEOUT NEW YORK
“Novelists, TV writers, stand-up comics, cartoonists, filmmakers, recording artists, dramatists, and poets come together for a friendly but edgy celebration of failure.”
–LA TIMES
"In New York, audiences are finding that failure is fun!"
–ABC NEWS
"'The Rejection Show' is a refuge for the rebuffed, a haven for the heave-hoed,
a destination for the deep-sixed."
–NEWSDAY
"A show like this is like the ultimate catharsis, for sure."
-NY DAILY NEWS
"Like a gang of Farmer Ted’s leading the geeks through the brutal, estranged halls of high school, the Rejection Show features some of NY’s finest rejected writers and performers, in this comedy-centric event."
-THE L MAGAZINE
"Not just a brilliant idea, it’s a well executed one."
–COMEDY CENTRAL
"'What do you get when you display a whole bunch of stuff that didn’t make the cut
at the New Yorker, Conan, and a bevy of other shows and publications?
Evidently, some funny shit.”
–GAWKER
"True to it’s maxim, ‘Just because it’s been rejected doesn’t mean it’s not good,’
the show continues to attract an audience that can relate.”
