Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival - a bigger lineup & tickets
by Klaus Kinski
The Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival (9/25-9/28 at The Bell House and Union Hall in Park Slope) kicks-off in just over a week and the line-up and ticket info is finally coming to light. As predicted, the roster of participants is siiiiiicccckkkkk. In addition to a ton of local favorites, some of the best comedians from Chicago, LA, San Francisco and beyond are also gracing our fine burrough. I am particularly stoked to see Bobby Bingo, Arj Barker, Tig Notaro, Morgan Murphy, Hannibal Buress and the Sklar Brothers. More special guests are in the works, but for now feast your eyes on the current dates and line-ups (and ticket links) below....
Sep 25 - 8:00pm - The Bell House (Opening Night Awards Gala) Hosted by Eugene Mirman. With Seth Herzog, Bobby Tisdale, Patrick Borelli, Janeane Garofalo, and many special guests. This will be a fake awards show, with food, followed by Bobby Bingo (Bobby Tisdale's super-fun bingo game), and an afterparty DJed by Craig Baldo. (TICKETS)
Sep 26 - 9:00pm - The Bell House (Invite Them Up) Bobby Tisdale hosts. With John Oliver, Aziz Ansari, Eugene Mirman, Ron Lynch and special guests. (TICKETS)
Sep 26 - 5:30pm - Union Hall (Eugene Mirman's Fresh Faces of Comedy) Larry Murphy, Greg Johnson, Dave Hill, Kumail Nanjiani, Peanutbutter, and more.
Sep 26 - 7:00pm - Union Hall (One of Each) Aziz Ansari, Tig Notaro, Haniball Buress, Morgan Murphy, Joe Wong, John Roberts, and more.
Sep 27 - 2:00pm - The Bell House (Apartment 2F Reunion) The Sklar Brothers, Sam Seder, Michael Showalter, David Wain, Katty Biscone, Leo Allen, Eric Slovin, Matt Price, and more.
Sep 27 - 9:00pm - The Bell House (The Very Best Supporting Television Cast Members Live) Kristen Schaal, Arj Barker, Janeane Garofalo, Eugene Mirman and special guests. (TICKETS)
Sep 27 - 7:00pm - Union Hall (Eugene Mirman's Fresh Faces of Comedy) Larry Murphy, Greg Johnson, Dave Hill, Kumail Nanjiani, and more.
Sep 28 - 6:00pm - The Bell House (The Shac) Heather Lawless, Chelsea Peretti, Shonali Bhowmik, Andrea Rosen and special guests.
Sep 28 - 9:00pm - The Bell House (Tearing The Veil of Maya, Closing Ceremonies) Hosted by Michael Showalter. Mike Birbiglia, Fred Armisen, Eugene Mirman, John Mulaney, and very special guests. Plus closing night party. (TICKETS)
Not sure how much the Union Hall shows will be, but besides the $15 opening night shindig, it looks like those Bell House shows are a measly 10 bucks. Totally worth it for the already announced comedians alone. I am not sure we'll see a comedy festival of this magnitude in NYC anytime soon so take advantage people!

"what about 'Jon Benjamin Presents the Failed Pilots of Sam Seder' at union hall? 9/27 5:30pm"
We're double checking to make sure that one should be on the list. thanks!

i second that emotion for more kristen schaal - but regardless, pretty amazing lineup - will todd barry be in the house at all?

Todd Barry is in Phoenix on the 26th and Las Vegas on the 27th, so between that and his travel times I don't have high hopes he'll be at Eugene's Fest.

pretty sad Riffifi is gone. security in the basement.

Damn. I want to spend every night at this, yet it is one of the only weekends of the year where I have to work late on a weekend.

I can confirm that it's officially up in the air whether or not the FAILED PILOTS thing is going to happen. According to the festival organizers Sam Seder will be hosting the Apartment 2F reunion. Jon will either do the Failed Pilots show or maybe do a spot on another one. We'll see.....
Posted by klaus_kinski | September 16, 2008 4:31 PM
ah! good to know, thanks klaus. i was really looking forward to that one, i hope it works out....i'd really particularly just like to see jon benjamin. do you by any chance know how long the 2F thing is supposed to last? it starts at 2 in the afternoon, seems like there should be at least a little time in there? my hope was to go to both of those myself...maybe just wishful thinking. :)

finally a rare chance to see eugene mirman perform.
Posted by Anonymous | September 16, 2008 10:46 PM
Are you a fucking idiot 10:46? This fest is hardly about eugene. SMug tourist asshole
Posted by Anonymous | September 16, 2008 10:49 PM
the eugene mirman fest is the perfect addition to the festival circuit. has anyone abbreviated it with TEMF? that's catchy.
Posted by Mike Birbiglia | September 17, 2008 5:03 PM
Yes 10:49, that's why it's called the "Eugene Mirman" festival. Because it's hardly about Eugene Mirman.
Got news for you chief. Outside of a small circle Eugene Mirman is just a fat Russian.
