ABOUT:
In its ninth consecutive year, NBC is proud to present another groundbreaking year of Stand-Up for Diversity. Through this initiative comedians of diverse backgrounds have been launched to new careermilestones. Each year NBC selects 3-5 cities across the country and holds both auditions and  live showcases of the top diverse talent from that area. At the end of the search a handful of comedians are brought back to Los Angeles to showcase for key industry players at NBCUniversal and industry-wide. Many of the comics from last year’s Best of Stand-Up for Diversity showcase signed with top Hollywood agents and met with the entertainment industry’s leading casting directors and executives.


Select Stand-Up for Diversity finalists have the opportunity to perform at the NACA (National Association of Campus Activities) National Convention for major college bookers and an invitation to join the NBC Standup for Diversity College Tour.
This year’s search will take us to five major U.S. cities. Top comics have a chance to be brought to Los Angeles to showcase in the Best of Stand-Up for Diversity show, sign a holding deal with NBC, perform at the NACA (National Association of Campus Activities) National Convention, join the company of the Stand-Up For Diversity Nationwide College Tour, and much more!!
This is not a show that will air on NBC, but rather an opportunity to be showcased for agents, casting directors, and television executives in consideration for future casting and development opportunities.

SponsoredTweets referral badgeOur trips to Cherokee, NC will be our main focus and we will branch out to other Casinos and High Stakes Bingo Halls in other states. If you have a destination in mind, or have personal experience with a great Bingo Hall or Casino, please let us know! We are here for you!

When you plan your trip to Cherokee, you have three options:

  • Playing at Harrah’s Casino for the full trip
  • Playing at Tribal Bingo for the full trip
  • Playing at Harrah’s and Tribal Bingo in the same trip
If you choose to play at both places, here is the schedule for trips going the 1st Saturday of the month when Tribal Bingo is a High Stakes game:
We will arrive at Tribal Bingo at Noon. Those who are going to Harrah’s for 4 hours will have first priority of getting their bingo packet and reserving their seat. Between 12:30-12:45 we will board the bus and go over to Harrah’s Casino. The bus will return to Tribal Bingo in time to play the main session, leaving Harrah’s at 5:30, promptly, so please be in line waiting at least 15 minutes prior. ***WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU ARE LATE. YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND YOUR OWN TRANSPORTATION BACK TO TRIBAL BINGO IF YOU MISS THE BUS.***
***We need a minimum of 15 people playing for a minimum of 4 hours per Harrah’s rules to receive a comp (which is typically a $5-10 voucher, but may change at any time)
We will stay for the Late Owl games which start around 10:30pm and go until approx. 12:30am. This way the people who went to Harrah’s can enjoy some smaller games like the Early Bird games.
We will also go to Cherokee on other days of the week and we will have the same 3 options, the times will be different though since Tribal Bingo will start later. Doors open at 4:30pm, Early Birds start at 5:30pm and the regular game starts at 7:00pm. Click Here for the Spring/Summer Schedule and costs to play.
TRIBAL BINGO HIGH STAKES GAME
Your bingo packet is $75 for a 12-on. You may purchase more than one of these, but that will not get you a 2nd seat at the table, one seat per person, this is a strict rule!
You will get 32 games total. There are 14 games that pay out $1500/game and a guaranteed jackpot of $35,000 that is included in your $75 packet. There are additional games you can buy that pay $1,000/game, Spin The Wheel, Bonanza’s (you can trade up bad cards), and Speed Ball Game (dont try to play two squares, they really do go FAST!!!).
The Early Birds are $10 for a 6-on, and the Late Owls are $5.00 for a 6-on, and they pay out $200/game. There are also WTA (Winner Takes All) games with the Late Owls, and they range in pay. The cost is $1.00 for a 6-on. I saw them range from $500-$1200 when I played there.
