2011 Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival

Hey, in case you haven’t been religiously following the Bumpershine Comedy Calendar, here are a bunch of shows that I intend to add to the calendar when I start updating it again. (Note: This post is chronological by venue, but venues are not listed alphabetically.)

THE 4TH ANNUAL EUGENE MIRMAN COMEDY FESTIVAL
When: September 15 – 18, 2011
Where: The Bell House
With: A bunch of awesome stuff and very funny comedians. Read a little more about this year’s EMCF below:

Normally, each year, we half-heartedly consider trying to get sponsors to fund our lovely and demented dreams, but this year we’ve decided to try something different: Kickstarter. With that in mind, please watch the video, look at our oddball incentives, and consider donating anywhere between $10 and $10,000. It would be very helpful. Thank you.
