Laugh Your Aspen Off Saturday night

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on December 8th, 2006

An Aspen Times News article hypes Saturday night’s Laugh Your Aspen Off comedy show at Steve’s Guitars in Carbondale, CO. It’ll be the third in a series of shows produced by FOS Clifford Fewel, who hatched the idea while working at the Aspen fest earlier this year.

“I heard Dave Chappelle describe Aspen as ‘your little Smurf village’ one evening while I was selling tickets at the tent,” said Fewel, “and it made me curious as to what an insider’s perspective about life in this area might be.”

As a standup comic with 10 years under his belt, Fewel wondered if there was enough local talent to stage a show about “life in Aspen and below.”

Turns out there were at least ten comics– Nine guys and one gal share the bill this Saturday in Carbondale– who passed the September auditions for the series. Fewel says, “a highlight DVD has been sent to HBO with hopes of being accepted as a part of the 2007 Comedy Festival in Aspen in late February.”

Doors open at 8 p.m. Admission is $10 per person for the 18-and-over show, with Steve’s Guitars’ customary BYOB policy in effect.
