JFL invades USA in 2009
Chicago is their target. The folks at Just For Laughs sent out a bulletin today at 2:39 PM announcing “Just For Laughs: A Very Funny Festival.” Then, there’s this, from the Gazette, on Canada.com:
Just for Laughs and the U.S. cable station TBS are collaborating to launch a new comedy festival next year in Chicago, home of the world-famous Second City comedy troupe.
The five-day Just For Laughs: A Very Funny Festival will include the taping of a TBS stand-up comedy special starring comedian and talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres, assorted stand-up, improv and sketch shows– including a Second City appearance– and a film component, the organizations announced today.
The details, they say, will be announced this fall. No further details on the date, other than “next year.”
