Requiem for Aspen Comedy Arts


Around this time for the last couple of years I'd be heading up to Aspen for HBO's Aspen Comedy Arts Festival. A number of factors have caused this event to be no more. I have such great memories of this festival, the first year I went up I saw Dave Chapelle do a live stand up set (!) and then the next year I was introduced to the magic of Charlyne Yi who I previously mentioned here. I got to witness many other discoveries in Aspen including the brillaint Aziz Ansari. I'm going to follow this post up with couple of other things I loved about Aspen and reasons why I'm so sad to see this festival die.
