FOUND FOOTAGE FESTIVAL: 10th Anniversary Tour at the Art Theater CO-op

Returning for the first show since 2012, it's the Found Footage Festival, a one-of-a-kind event showcasing videos found at garage sales and thrift stores and in warehouses and dumpsters throughout North America. Curators Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (The Colbert Report ) take audiences on a guided tour of their latest and greatest VHS finds, providing live commentary and where-are-they-now updates on the people in these videotaped obscurities. It's not just a clips show: it's a stand-up comedy act, with Pickett and Prueher telling the tapes' absurd backstories and interrupting the videos with some choice Mystery Science Theater style comments. The duo has been at it for a decade, and most recently, Pickett and Prueher have pranked morning TV shows (Prueher poses as a chef who makes "creative" meals out of your leftovers) and facilitated a reunion between two 1980s late-night TV salesmen who used to make fun of each other and the merchandise they were peddling on air. FFF is always a riot. Your sides will hurt for days.
