Just for Laughs is Coming to Chicago
TBS, in conjunction with Montreal's Just for Laughs (JFL) festival, has confirmed the launch of a new comedy festival to be staged in Chicago during the summer of 2009.
As stated in the Hollywood Reporter, "The Chicago festival will become JFL's 'flagship comedy event in the U.S.,' said JFL president Gilbert Rozon.
"Besides a TBS special hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, it will feature a series of stand-up concerts by top-name comedians, improv and sketch shows, including a collaboration with the famed Second City comedy troupe in the Windy City, Latino and urban comedy specials, as well as a film component."
Not even a peep, you guys? No one knew anything about this? If so, do you have any more details?
