It’s that time of year: The HBO Comedy Festival (or “Aspen” as it is more commonly known), will be in Aspen, Colorado, February 28 through March 4, and they’re currently accepting submissions from comedians for performance spots.
The release goes like this:
To be considered as a performer for the 2007 HBO Comedy Festival, please submit your materials (DVD, CD, VHS tape, press kit, upcoming performance schedules, articles, etc.) to the address listed below before November 6th, 2006.
SUBMITTED MATERIALS WILL NOT BE RETURNED.
Mailing Address:
Talent Department
HBO Comedy Festival
2500 Broadway, Ste. 400
Santa Monica, CA 90404
The Festival will begin accepting comedic features and shorts films for its Film Discovery Program from August 1st through December 1st, 2006.
Something odd is this paragraph on the front page of their website:
HBO announced today that the HBO Comedy Festival will be held in Aspen, Colorado from February 28 – March 4, 2007. Drawing upon 12 years of success through their involvement with the U.S Comedy Arts Festival (USCAF), this will mark the first year of what is now known as the HBO Comedy Festival.
