“Our Après Comedy Hour shows are typically some of my favorites during the festival,” Gena Buhler, producer of Aspen Laugh Festival and director of the Wheeler Opera House, said in the announcement. “These free, intimate shows give people a taste of Aspen Laugh Festival before the headliners each night. This year we are expanding our Après Shows to Snowmass as well, with a special Saturday show!”
