The lineup for the fifth annual All Jane Comedy Festival is here, and Maria Bamford, the star of Lady Dynamite and also my friendship dreams, is headlining! YESSSSSSSSSSS. But it wouldn't be All Jane without a strong showing from both nationally known names and local faves. Here's that, via email from All Jane publicity director Maura Brown:
Performers at this year’s festival include Maria Bamford (Lady Dynamite, Arrested Development), Jackie Kashian (The Dork Forest, The Jackie and Laurie Show), Page Hurwitz (Last Comic Standing executive producer), Debra DiGiovanni (Last Comic Standing, Live at Gotham, Just for Laughs Comedy Festival), Dulcé Sloan (CONAN, StandUp NBC winner), Lisa Best (Flophouse, Cheat Day Chowdown), and Maggie Maye (CONAN).
These and many other acclaimed performers arrive from New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and all points between to share the stage with Pacific Northwest powerhouses Susan Rice, JoAnn Schinderle, Katie Nguyen, Andie Main, Barbara Holm, Whitney Streed, and All Jane founder and Curious Comedy/All Jane Comedy Fest Artistic Director Stacey Hallal.
Dulcé Sloan! Maggie Maye! Katie Nguyen! Barbara Holm! And now I have to stop because I will really just repeat every name on that list, because they're all great and All Jane is great and you should check out the full lineup here and then cancel all your plans between October 5-9. Your laughter-sculpted abs will thank you.
