Nashville’s DJ Buckley, his cohorts at Nashville Stand Up, and several special guests have already clocked in a 184 hour and 16 minute continuous stand-up comedy show to set the world record for longest stand-up comedy show with multiple comedians.

Who would be crazy enough to break that record that is more than a continuous week of stand-up comedy? Well, it turns out that Buckley and company were crazy enough to pull off their first record and are just crazy enough to try to break it.

In case you’re concerned how much longer they’re going to this time, they’re only attempting a show that’s 5 minutes longer, which makes us think that they’re going to make this an annual tradition that gets 5 minutes longer every year.

So, on 11:59am on Sunday, May 15th, 2016, the attempt will begin at The East Room in Nashville and go on for the next several days that are necessary to accomplish the feat.

If you’re interested in being witness, in person, to comedy history, you can buy tickets here.

They clocked in at 184 hours and 16 min.

Running longer than a calendar week without interruption, Nashville’s East Room hosted a stand up comedy show from Nashville StandUp that will now officially hold The Guinness World Record for “Longest Stand-Up Comedy Show-Multiple Comedians”.

Previously, the Hollywood Laugh Factory held that distinction for the last few years, but thanks to several local comedians as well as Rory Scovel, Hannibal Buress, and Nate Bargatze, Nashville StandUp accomplished what they deemed “The Greatest Dumbest Thing We’ve Ever Done: The Broken Record Show”.

Though usually only going for 12 hours, we’d like to see Jimmy Pardo’s Pardcast-a-Thon get in on this action.

Almost a year ago, wonderful comedian/storyteller Tom Shillue set out to release a comedy album every month for a year, which would, of course, amount to 12 albums over the course of 12 months. That’s roughly twelve times the pace of Louis CK’s special a year pace and Shillue, we’re happy to say, has almost reached his goal.

The 11th album “Heyday” is coming out next week on Sept. 24th. If you want to catch up on the rest of this amazing feat from someone you should be listening to if they just release an album anyway, here are the other 10 albums.

3) Not that we’re all that big fans of the VMAs unless music video extraordinaire Tom Scharpling is winning something (he just directed the Ettes newest video with Patton Oswalt playing him), Jonah Ray, DC Pierson, and Sean O’Connor did write for this edition which should prove for some funny stuff worthy of watching (MTV 9PM).
