Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Nobody's mentioned Michael Che yet? I could definitely see him at the farm. Daily Show and SNL cred make it all the more likely.
Speaking of Daily Show, has John Oliver been to Bonnaroo yet? Because I would quite enjoy a set from him.
michael che opened for a couple acts in 2013, i think, and was really great. i also saw him at oddball fest this summer and he was so much better than half of the acts at the pittsburgh stop. it would be great to get a longer set from him!
never been able to justify missing music for a comedy act at roo, not sure if any comedian can change my mind on this one...
Bob Saget 2013 ALMOST did! I waited in line for about 30-40 minutes. Realized waiting in line is lame and I could probably catch him at a venue. Bailed.
The only comedian I might sacrifice a ton of time to see would be Louis CK, but I imagine a lot of other people would have the same inclination, making the process even more difficult.
Same here! To see Louis C.K. I might very well miss a few bands to catch live at Bonnaroo.
Fozzie Bear has the best idea! Give Louis a stage!
Dave Chappelle is said every year, but this year he is actually touring... One of the few people I would skip music to laugh at.
The ad banner at the top of my page right now is for Chappele's two night December stand in Dallas at the HOB. He'd certainely be an upgrade over Tosh or Craig Robinson IMO.

If Sleater-Kinney plays, what are the chances we would have Portlandia in the comedy tent? Fred Armisen would certainly join in on the fun if Carrie Brownstein is already going to be there performing.

The problem with having a big comedy act is you have to wait in line for two hours to get a ticket for a show, and it's not right before the show. I was able to see Aziz in 2012, tried for Ed Helms in 2013 but was unsuccessful.
I think they were there last year. Sorry to burst your bubble.
They were scheduled to be there, but had to cancel due to travel delays. Ended up getting to see Hannibal Burress who filled in for them.
They were there last year. I think they only did their set on Sunday. I went to go see them instead of the possibility of getting front row for Arctic Monkeys and I am regretting that decision. They were on stage for about 10-15 minutes and what they did on stage was atrocious compared to their show.
I am really hoping for some Louis CK, Patton Oswalt in the comedy theater and Doug Benson in the cinema tent. These would be the only comedy acts that I would miss bands for if the timing is right.

I mentioned Maron a couple of months ago, but aside from a Maron set something really really cool he could do is a live WTF. He loves music, it would be cool if he could wrangle up a panel of musicians to interview.
I will be surprised if we don't get some form of Chris Hardwick. Preferably doing @midnight on the farm. It will be easy to pull off with comedians that he has on there and the occasional musician. I would actually like to see Jeff Tweedy showcase his comedy chops if he is around.
Stephen Colbert would be amazing, but I know he's going to be taking over Letterman so I'm guessing that's unlikely.
The cast of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, not sure how it'd work but I'd watch it anyway.
Trailer Park Boys would be a show I might have to miss a concert for, and they have been touring quite a bit.
Louis C.K. I think is over do for a Bonnaroo appearance.
Joe Rogan,Lewis Black, Sarah Silverman, Bo Burnham, Stephen Lynch
We got O'Brian when he was in-between his two talk show gigs, maybe (on a wild hope) we could get Colbert the same way. Also he has appeared at polloza, and has mentioned Bonnaroo a few times on his show. A plus is that our festival is known to him, a minus is taking over the late show means he doesn't need the money.....
