Two Indiana Comics to Compete in National Clean Comedy Finals in South Carolina
Two talented comedians from Indiana are set to represent the Hoosier State on a national stage. Clara D and T Hill have earned their spots among America’s top clean comedians in The Search For The One Stand Up Comedy Competition, a national contest that celebrates humor without the need for profanity or explicit content. The final round will take place on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 6 p.m. (EDT) in the Stevenson Auditorium, located at 979 Middleton Street, Orangeburg, South Carolina.
Organized by Joke Farm, a brand dedicated to promoting clean stand-up comedy, the competition features six rounds held across six U.S. cities, culminating in the South Carolina finale. The event is hosted by renowned comedian Akintunde, known for his commitment to faith-based and family-friendly entertainment. Fans are encouraged to vote live for their favorite comedians during the show, adding an interactive twist to the contest.
The stakes are high — the winner will receive a $5,000 cash prize, the iconic Blue Comedy Stool, and a full-length comedy special produced by Joke Farm. This special will premiere on the Joke Farm Network and will be broadcast nationwide on both television and streaming platforms. According to the event page on TicketTailor, this clean comedy showdown has drawn performers from across the country, all competing to be crowned the next major name in clean stand-up.
Earlier rounds of The Search For The One took place in multiple cities, including Atlanta and Columbia, with the Round 6 event held on October 5, 2025, at 124 Diamond Lane, Columbia, South Carolina. Each round narrowed the field of comedians through audience and judge voting, leading to this highly anticipated finale. The tour’s tagline says it all: “Six Rounds. Six Cities. One Comedian.”
In a recent appearance on FOX59’s “The Deep Dive with Deja”, hosted by Cameron Ridle and Deja Studdard, veteran comic Clara D shared her insight into sustaining a successful career in stand-up. Having performed in Indianapolis for more than 35 years, Clara D emphasized the importance of staying true to oneself. “Be authentic. Be who you are. Whatever kind of comedy you do — do it. Make sure that it’s comfortable for you,” she said during the segment.
The competition’s focus on clean, relatable humor makes it a refreshing space for comedians who thrive on creativity and storytelling without crossing into offensive territory. It’s also an opportunity for performers like Clara D and T Hill to gain national recognition while representing their local comedy scene in Indiana.
Tickets for the final show are available now through TicketTailor’s official event page. Fans of stand-up and family-friendly entertainment can expect an evening filled with laughter, positivity, and the best of clean comedy — as America searches for “The One.”
