About ZUG Live

ZUG Live is our 24-hour-a-day comedy forum, where users (called "Livers") are constantly giving and receiving fresh funny, like a nonstop comedy orgy. Here's how it works.

Share. Our easy signup process lets you immediately begin posting your own real-life stories, as well as comment on other people's stuff.

Rate. ZUGZ are the basic unit of comedy (one ZUGZ = one chuckle). Each time you read someone else's comedy content, be sure to rate it for funniness, using our rating system of one through five ZUGZ.

Win! Each month there is a standing competition to become The Funniest Person in the World, based on the member who receives the most ZUGZ. And all members can enter into special competitions to win real cash and prizes!
