Snowmass Comedy WKND adds new events
Snowmass Comedy WKND and the Collective Snowmass added new shows to its upcoming summer comedy weekend taking place July 12-14.
The additional events include Mountainside Comedy Happy Hour, a silent comedy disco, Comedians in the Kitchen, and The Goddamn Comedy Jam. The new events will complement current lineup Alex Edelman, Josh Adam Meyers, Nancy Norton, and Reem Edan.
The Mountainside Comedy Happy Hour will take place at 5:30 p.m. Friday, July 12 at the Ranger Station patio. It is a free community event that will feature local and regional comedians.
At 9:30 p.m. Friday, after Adam Meyers, Norton, and Edan perform at the Collective Hall, there will be a free silent comedy disco at the Collective and Mawita. Aspen DJ Romy Ancona and Comedy WKND comedians will host a silent disco that mixes comedy and music.
Edelman will join forces with Little Nell Executive Chef Keith Theodore during the Comedians in the Kitchen event at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, July 13. Edelman and Theodore crafted a menu inspired by some of Edelman’s favorite dishes, and the two will take on a live cooking challenge driven by audience suggestions. The event will be at the Snowmass Limelight Patio and tickets are $150.
The Goddamn Comedy Jam on Saturday will combine comedy and rock and roll with comedians performing a stand up set and short story followed by a song of their choosing, accompanied by a live band. It will be at the Tavern at 9:30 p.m. and is hosted by Adam Meyers and his house band Elemenopy. Tickets start at $25, which includes a cover charge at the Tavern, and it is a 21 and up show.
The Collective launched the Snowmass Comedy WKND in February after seeing continued success with its live comedy series. It announced the summer lineup in May after a successful winter Comedy WKND.
