...could some benevolent Jedi teach this humble padawan the Ways of the Force with respect to the Comedy Tent? In my four Roos I have yet to cross its threshold.
I'd like to 1) get in, with 2) as few hours lost in line as possible, and 3) enjoy myself while I'm there.
Yer wisdom much welcome...

You will enjoy air conditioning while there so how can you go wrong. I can't remember how early they begin giving the tickets out but you need to be present, in other words my hubby can't pick up two tix for us if I'm not there. Odds are you won't lose hours in line and remember there will be multiple shows. Have fun, we may see you there, all depends on the schedule.
We waited forever to see Conn and then as they started giving out tickets the line from behind rushed ahead. They were jumping over the fence and cutting in line. We waited for a few hours and were pissed and did not even getto see him. Well we watched on the screen they showed it on. We've had better luck getting in the pit at the main stage.

Check the schedule and see what comedy acts are playing that day. If there's a show you want to see, stop by the comedy tent early in the day and ask the person working there when you can pick up tickets for the show you want.
Tickets are free and just guarantee you entry.
They'll tell you when to come back and get tickets (usually sometime before the show you want starts and after the show before it begins). You pick up a ticket and then can either walk around to check out more music or you can get in line for the show you want to see. People who want to get front row will line up and wait the hour or two (or more) to be close for the show they want.
If you have a ticket, you will get in. You can walk up a few minutes before the show and have a spot. You may be far back but you'll be in.

I don't think you'll experience anything like this. Conan last year was a perfect storm of madness. We've never had any problem getting in, it's just a matter of finding out when the tickets become available.
Maybe if we're lucky Butterfinger will sponsor the tent again and give away ice cream
if memory serves, tickets get passed out 2 hours before the show time. never had any hassle getting a spot other than conan (i got in, i just had to get in line at 7 in the morning. worth it tho).
as said before, once you have your ticket it's all good. if you plan on sticking around for the whole set i would recommend getting in line about 20 minutes early so you can get a seat with a back. the seat back + air conditioning + laughs = an incredible refresher.
