Hey everybody meet JODEE CHAMPION!
Laugh Track: How long have you been a stand-up comic?
Jodee: It’ll be 4 years this August.
What other comics will you be watching during the festival?
I’d like to watch as many as I can and go to every show. I’m most excited about seeing all the short films.
If you could give yourself advice when you first started out, what would it be?
Butt-sex jokes are a hard sell. Give up on them now before you go to Grand Junction and do that one show. Read the rest of this entry »

Winner of the ‘11 48 hour film fest in Denver!
We present UNFURNISHED
Synopsis: ‘Unfurnished’ follows a couple excited to get into the new home they just got under contract. They are so excited in fact, they decide to break in before they are allowed to plan out a few details with this ‘fixer upper’. In going room to room, they not only find that their ideas of how the h.ouse should be changed are different but that the house itself has some real problems!
Director: Brad Stabio
Here’s a brief explanation of the film from Brad:
Brad: Unfurnished is interesting because we as filmmakers were looking for a way to make a film to showcase our skills and also fit it into the framework of the 48 Hour Film Project 2011 in Denver. We feel our efforts paid off in all aspects of the film and resulted in the film winning Best Film, Best Acting, and Best Special Effects at the Denver 48 Hour Film Project 2011. As a director, it has been amazing to see our team take a film all the way to a screening at the Cannes Film Festival last year and already see positive results from Unfurnished as well.

We can’t wait for you to meet BOB PALOS
This is Bob Palos. He’s uneducated, over aware and filled with doubt. He takes an unassuming approach in his comedy to explain why everyone and everything is stupid and there’s nothing Bob won’t tackle and dissect into futility for the sake of his self righteousness.
Laugh Track: How long have you been a stand-up comic?
Bob: I started in August 2007, I’d just moved to Chicago that week and was sitting around on the internet looking for something to do.
What other comics will you be watching during the festival?
I’m pretty bad at remembering peoples names but I know there’s one guy in Denver who I thought was pretty cool. He was white and had a mustache. Read the rest of this entry »
