Manchester’s four day festival of music, comedy, filthy stinky crowds and incredibly bad traffic runs June 7-10, and as always the published Comedy Tent line-up is amazing: Aziz Ansari, Steven Wright, Marc Maron, Brian Posehn, Reggie Watts, World Champion Judah Friedlander, Childish Gambino, Rhys Darby, Colin Hay, Garfunkel & Oates, Amy Schumer, Mike O’Connell, Matt Besser, Doug Benson, The Chris Gethard Show, Pete Holmes, Rory Scovel, Ali Wong, Kyle Kinane, Nick Thune, Andy Daly, Key & Peele, Jon Dore, Natasha Leggero.
For specific times and line-ups and the latest info, you should probably just check the schedule at Bonnaroo.com, but we’d recommend just sitting in the Comedy Tent for the whole damn weekend. See ya there, hippies!
The NashvilleStandUp.com Showcase @ Zanies is a showcase of the funniest professional comedians based in the Nashville area, plus guest sets from traveling comics, and a few up-and-coming young comics from the local Nashville scene. The line-up for the June 3rd, 2012 show includes: Monty Mitchell, Sean Parrott, Renard Hirsch, Sean Staggs, Brad Edwards, Dan Schlacter, Gary Fletcher and will be headlined by Chad Riden.
Chad Riden has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman’s “Tony Mendez Show”, several Comcast On Demand specials, dozens of independent short films, and was on NBC’s Last Comic Standing for exactly one MF’ing second. He has performed at the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival (2010) and the Laugh Your Asheville Off Festival (2009) and continues to tour the nation using his smart-ass super powers for good, not evil.
Here’s a video from the Memphis Comedy Festival in February, 2012, where Chad Riden talks about working as a college art school teacher and trying his best to not fuck the students.. and about buying condoms after his wife left:
Here’s some video of Riden doing a spot on the “12 Shiny Nickels” show in Los Angeles in February, 2009:
