06.18.2008 Aziz Ansari is about to be huge
Come to Bumbershoot to see comedian Aziz Ansari before the rest of the world discovers him! Sure, you’ve seen him on MTV’s Human Giant or maybe as the racist fruit salesman on Flight of the Conchords, but pretty soon he’s going to be everywhere.

05.28.2008 Partial comedy lineup announced! A new comedy pass!
Last year the clamor for comedy was evident as Bumbershoot’s comedy stages grew to be 3-strong. If you haven’t checked out this popular part of the Festival, it’ll be easier this year to claim your seat for a show with a brand new comedy pass system. Great news considering the 2008 comedy lineup includes Zach Galifianakis, Doug Benson, Aziz Ansari, Jessi Klein, Karen Kilgariff, Michelle Buteau, Hannibal Buress, and Tig! More featured shows and regional comedy to be announced mid-July.
Now, what’s this talk about a new comedy pass? To allow more fans the chance to see a show (without having to wait in line all weekend) Bumbershoot is kicking off a free pass system that will guarantee pass holders general admission to one comedy show per day. Passes will be available at 11am each day at a Comedy Pass Distribution booth, while supplies last. For more info on the new comedy pass system (and how to stand by for shows for which you don’t have a pass), visit bumbershoot.org/festival-faq.htm.
