The annual event features a series of first, second and third year students performing stand-up comedy, many of whom are attempting it for the first time. After the performances, a crowd favorite voted on by the audience is announced as well as a first and second place winner voted on by student judges. The first and second place winners then receive funds on the basis of their sense of humor, academic merit and financial need. The $4,000 scholarship was established by the children of William W. W. Knight and Beverly Randolph Knight, to carry on their parents’ love of laughter. William W. W. Knight attended the University and the couple was married in Charlottesville in 1951.
