Rooftop Comedy, everybody’s favorite comedy juggernaut (well, next to Punchline Magazine, of course), announced that it would be teaming up with Country Music TV to search for America’s next comic superstar. Through the website comic.cmt.com, the two media powerhouses have chosen 12 rising comedic voices to compete against each other for a chance to rock the mic at this year’s Aspen Rooftop Comedy fest, kicking off in June.

Needless to say, we can’t wait to see the final four contestants duke it out for comic supremacy in the final round on Feb. 22. Should make the mountains of Aspen a lot more volcanic this year. Check out Chad Daniels below; he’s just one of the dozen comedians in the running.
