Bonnaroo Band of the Day: Comedy Tent Edition, Part 2

Many ‘Roovians probably can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a Comedy Tent on their hallowed Manchester grounds but, in actuality, Bonnaroo didn’t discover its funny bone until it’s 3rd year: 2004. That makes this summer the 10th anniversary of the Comedy Tent, and it might just be the strongest lineup yet! We already knew that Daniel Tosh would be there, but the festival finally spilled the beans on the rest of the bunch. Check out an announcement video from David Cross, followed by a quick preview of the the second of the comedy lineup!

And don’t forget to check out Part 1 of our Bonnaroo Comedy Tent Preview.

First gaining notoriety as a contest on Last Comic Standing, then transitioning to the podcast and, recently, MTV circuit, standup comic Nikki Glaser is a sharp and confident observational comedian. Her style is very topical and generational, yet often personal and enjoyably conversational. She’s sure to be a hit at Bonnaroo!

Bonnaroo Comedian | Chris Gethard
Stage & Time: | Comedy Tent | Thursday @ 12AM; Friday @ 12:45PM

As an actor, published author, and NPR darling, Chris Gethard is the thinking man’s comedian. He’s not as known for his standup as some of this other projects (especially The Chris Gethard show), but his routine is a smart, observational extension of his personality. Also, Gethard walked from LA to Bonnaroo last summer.

Bonnaroo Comedian | Michael Che
Stage & Time: | Comedy Tent | Thursday @ 10PM; Friday @ 2:30PM; Saturday @ 12:45

New York comedian Michael Che is one of the most promising up and comers in the standup scene. Che’s smart, socially conscious, youth-geared situational standup is fresh, blunt, and laid-back in its delivery. As one of the hardest working new comedians in the game, Michael is sure to be a household name in no time.

Bonnaroo Comedian | Kyle Dunnigan
Stage & Time: | Comedy Tent | Thursday @ 6PM, 8PM; Thursday @ 12AM

Kyle Dunnigan is perhaps most recognizable from his role on Reno 911!, but, even though he’s a gifted character actor and musician, his standup is where he truly shines. His surreal take on situational comedy, utilizing his acting chops to accentuate his delivery, makes him one of the most entertaining performers around.
