BUMBERSHOOT®: SEATTLE’S MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL
ANNOUNCES 2011 COMEDY LINEUP


Seattle, WA — Bumbershoot: Seattle’s Music & Arts Festival, which
takes place September 3-5 at Seattle Center, announces this year’s
Comedy lineup.

While Bumbershoot gets the bulk of its attention due to its diverse
musical offerings, it also boasts a similarly stellar arts lineup that
includes theatre, dance, literature, visual arts — and, for the past
14 years, at least one dedicated comedy stage.

This year, the festival’s laugh-inducing programming stretches across
three stages, offering festivalgoers more opportunities to catch some
of today’s best and brightest comedians — whether they’re culled from
Seattle’s backyard (courtesy of the People’s Republic of Komedy) or
hand-picked by Comedy Central exec Lisa Leingang.

"Bumbershoot has been proud to consistently present up and coming
comics for more than a decade,” says One Reel Programming Director
Chris Porter. “Now famous acts including David Cross, Zach
Galifanakis, Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Flight of the Conchords,
Fred Armisen and many others have graced the Bumbershoot comedy stages
as they were rising stars. We are assured to see a future TV star
each year within our lineup."

Doug Benson let the cat out of the proverbial bag early, but we’re
pleased as punch to tell you who else will be joining us over Labor
Day weekend. Heeeeeere’s our lineup!

Doug Loves Movies and we love Doug Benson! Doug invites you to join
him and his friends as they podcast their affection for all things
cinematic.

Scott Aukerman has rubbed elbows with Zach Galifinakis and David
Cross, and not only lived to tell the tales — he’s broadcasted them.
His lively podcast Comedy Bang Bang is a treasure trove of comedy
gold, with celebrity guests and all around hilarity. His Bumbershoot
performance features the prodigious talents of Paul F. Tompkins.

Yell out an inspired title and you might be the inspiration for The
Improvised Shakespeare Company
’s current sketch, delivered in grand
Elizabethan style. Each of the players has brushed up on his “thees”
and “thous” to bring you off-the-cuff comedy using the language and
themes of William Shakespeare.

Eugene Mirman is a Bumbershoot veteran, a music fan and a world-class
comedian whose albums have been released on Seattle labels Suicide
Squeeze and Sub Pop. He probably needs no introduction. He might need
a beverage.

Who are The Gregory Brothers? Glad you asked. You might know them as
the folks behind the wildly popular Internet sensations “Auto-Tune the
News” and “Songify This,” or perhaps through their “country & soul,
folk & roll” EP, “Meet The Gregory Brothers.” Strangely, one of them
is not male.

Hari Kondabolu plays with race the way that some people play with
kittens. His comedy is playful, irreverent and spot-on, turning the
spotlight on hypocrisy with a surgeon’s precision and a comedian’s
rapier wit. A Comedy Central favorite and a regular on the Seattle
scene, we’re delighted to welcome him to Bumbershoot.

Anthony Jeselnik was awarded album of the year by Punchline magazine
for his album, Shakespeare. He’s worked as a writer on Late Night with
Jimmy Fallon and roasted Donald Trump. Comedy Central named him one of
the breakout comedians of 2009, and the rest of that graduating class
likes to call him the most attractive of their bunch.

Kurt Metzger’s made Comedy Central’s 2010 Hot List, was a regular on
VH1's Best Week Ever and is the voice of Randall on the Comedy Central
program "Ugly Americans.” If you missed him on television, you can
catch his album Kurt Metzger Talks to Young People About Sex on iTunes
in June. Ask him how he feels about Jersey Shore.

Deon Cole got his break on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, after
an on-air performance landed him a job as a writer for the show and
the show’s untimely demise led to a slot as the featured comedian on
Conan O’Brien’s Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television
tour. A gifted actor as well as a comedian, he’s been featured on
Comedy Central’s John Oliver & Friends, Lopez Tonight and
Laffapalooza; HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, BET’s Comic View, NBC’s Showtime
at the Apollo and Starz’s Martin Lawrence’s 1st Amendment.

Wayne Federman’s Woody Allen joke was voted the #4 joke of the year in
The New York Post last year. You might also have seen him in one of
these movies (Knocked Up, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, 50 First Dates,
Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, Legally Blonde,) on The X-Files or
The Larry Sanders Show, through his own stand-up performances, or
unwittingly have been exposed to his wit through his time as the head
monologue writer on the inaugural season of The Jimmy Fallon Show.

Amy Schumer’s wholesome, girl-next-door looks give her edgy comedy
even more of an impact. A rapidly rising star (who made her debut by
coming in 4th place on Last Comic Standing in 2007). she’s a favorite
of Ellen DeGeneres and a master at heckling hecklers.

The London Evening Standard called Kyle Kinane “bleak and
misanthropic,” which he still feels may be a compliment. He made
Variety’s “Top 10 Comics to Watch of 2010”, and his episode of Comedy
Central Presents premiered in February 2011.

Bumbershoot veteran Rory Scovel returns to dazzle audiences with his
spontaneous creativity and absurd view of the world. Well known for
his improvisational skills, he’s been a festival favorite.

Julian McCullough is a self-proclaimed “super fun guy,” and his take
on relationships and life as a cat-owning, single straight guy in NYC
is enough to induce fits of giggles in even the most curmudgeonly.
He’s also had his own Comedy Central special and may or may not be
soliciting funds to protect his neighbors by buying curtains for his
apartment.
