Per usual, a comedy tent in Manchester, Tennessee this June will be host to some damn good fun with comedians that you might have seen on TV, but really ought to go see live (i.e. Reggie Watts, Aparna Nancherla, Melissa Villaseñor, Drennon Davis, Martin Urbano, and more)
Get more details and passes about this year’s Bonnaroo here.
From Burress to 2 Dope Queens to The Improvised Shakespeare Company to Chris Garcia to Jo Firestone Hari Kondabolu to Natasha and Moshe, you’re not going to want to miss comedy at all at this year’s Bonnaroo.
The festival is set to take place from Thursday, June 8th-Sunday, June 11th right at its home in Manchester, Tennessee. Passes start at $324.50.
Seriously, we know that there’s plenty of great music there (Chance The Rapper, Future Islands, Lorde, etc.), but you’d probably regret it if you didn’t catch the comedy too.
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.
