Comedy The Bridgetown Comedy Fest Announces 2012's Initial Lineup
Posted by Alison Hallett on Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 12:29 PM
Has it been five years already? I guess it has. The Bridgetown Comedy festival is hands-down my favorite annual event—every year it's a ton of fun bouncing around from club to club at the east end of Hawthorne. Lotsa booze, lotsa laughing until booze comes out of various orifices, and the occasional sighting of pantless Andy Dick.
The fest just announced the initial lineup for their fifth annual festival, which is so far headlined-ish by Todd Glass, Kevin Allison, and Doug Benson and also includes returning festival favorites like James Adomian, Matt Braunger, and all-star improv troupe Assssscat. (They'll be announcing more names in the weeks to come.) The fest is April 12-15; tickets go on sale March 5.
I'll post the full lineup after the jump—there are plenty of names I don't recognize, though we'll be researching 'em all and posting more highlights as the fest approaches. Anyone jump out at you guys?
