I never thought you’d ask. Before I start listing out my schedule (which I need to double-check myself; there’s so much going on), I do want to emphasize that you still have time to get full-weekend passes for a ridiculously good deal. The amount of talent we have coming to Knoxville this weekend is astounding, and if I took the time to list every person you should make it a point to see this weekend, both my head and your head would explode, and that’s just no fun at all because without the head, there is no laughter.
I’ll probably be able to list these on my Google shows calendar, but here’s a more thought-out list, with brief descriptions of what’s going on. Unless I write FREE in the description, you need a festival wristband or $8 to get in!
Thursday
Just teaching then chillin’ mostly. I’ll be at the Scruffy City Hall to support my friends in the Rocky Top Contest Finals, though, then the eternal open mic that’s happening afterwards/opening party.
Friday, November 7 – 11 am

“Laughmatic” with Mo Arora Live Podcast Recording
Another good/funny friend of mine, Mo Arora, is coming up from Atlanta and bringing his comedy podcast (over 100 episodes in!) with him. He has asked me to co-host, and I couldn’t be more excited. I sincerely hope I don’t blow my voice out before the shows on Saturday night. FREE.

The Roast of Tim Burton
Oh, boy. You’ve been to a Knox Comedy Character-Roast before? Well, this is like that, but on ‘roids. We’ve got plenty of visiting comedy stars joining us for this one, and I’m going to be roasting Tim Burton as a director whose identity will remain a juicy secret.
In case I missed anything, I’ll be updating all y’all on Twitter at the usual @tylersonic. Now, back to conspiring with Dustin Meadows on how to get babes to make out with us in the Sunsphere. SEE YOU AROUND THIS WEEKEND!
