good stand up is priceless. i dont like when you can tell the comedian is trying to be funny, the truly funny comedians are the ones who just go onstage as themselves and say what they feel and its so quacking hilarious. i feel like chris rock is one of those comedians, and i havent heard material from him in awhile and im sure hell come up with something special for a different type of crowd. i feel bad for david cross though his thunder got stolen, before this announcement he was the biggest comedian there i think. im curious as to when chris rock will have the what stage.
karma to you up there because mitch hedburg is one of the best comedians i have ever heard and its a shame hes gone now. probably my favorite stand-up comedian ever.
The comedy tent is fun but the line is way to long. In 6 years of bonnaroo last year was the first time I made it in. With Chris Rock there this year good luck.

i saw every single comedy act last year, and loved every minute of it!
it's not that long of a wait, the tent accommodates far more people than you'd imagine. plus people seem to spend a lot of time lounging around roo napping and what not, so why not just do it in line for something fun, eh?
but honestly, i'd rather more people agree with you and avoid it so i can get a good seat

This will be my 5th year at roo and I never went to the comedy tent until last year....I never cared before. But let me tell you guys, it's awesome! Dave Cross was one of my highlights last year and I plan on seeing him again this year. I saw every comedy act last year and the line is not really that big. If you're in line anywhere before the show starts, chances are you're gonna make it inside....it's HUGE in there!!!
btw Just Shoot Me is like my favorite all time show so I can't wait to see Brian Posehn!!!
I would have liked to catch Lewis Black last year. Luckily I was at the Gov't Mule show when he got hit on his head.
I remember that! I had gotten into the party favors earlier in the night and thought I dreamt it. The next day I had to ask my buddy if that really happened. I had forgotten about that until you mentioned it.
I only caught the comedy tent in 04 on Thursday night. I wanted to see David Cross last year really bad, but it didn't happen. The lines are outrageous. I would wait for hours to see Galifinakus though. He's gotta have his piano with him at Roo. They've booked just about every amazing comedian there is at this point. The only ones I think they've forgotten are Sarah Silverman and Jim Gaffigan
I went in the Comedy Tent in '04 'cause the lines were not that long(< 30 minutes). I thought it was great. Back then it was the only tent with AC and It was great to cool off and see come excellent stand up.
I like the closed tent as it's a bit more intimate, which is condusive to comedy.
Since '04, I've never seen a line short enough to make it worth the wait. Glad they still have it, though.
Open tent is they way to go. Make the comedians sweat like the rest of us 80,000. I love comedy and stand up, but you have to skip two showes to see one comedy show. Let us come and go, comedians don't like peopel coming and going during a show, but its roo and people have BANDS to see. I like the idea of comedy are roo, but in three years have never gotten in line.

Nah, I love the comedy tent, in spite of the line to get in. It's one of my favorite parts of the whole fest. Watching a good stand-up is like watching a good jazz musician, espescially if they're adept at improvisation. I love to see them work their craft.
Maybe it was the particular batch of Rice Krispie Treats I ate beforehand, but David Cross/Aziz Ansari/Nick Kroll @ Midnight on Thursday was one of my favorite sets of Roo 07.
Can't wait for Late Night Chat About. The promise of a house band and special guests is very intriguing. Seeing as how it's hosted by David Cross, I bet we get some Arrested Development cast members. Michael Cera, anyone?
