Every comedy fan has a bucket list of famous funny people in their heads that they have to see on a stage before they die. It’s a hard list to achieve because so many things that happen to great comedians that can keep them off of a stage: nervous breakdowns, drug problems, a need to do more dramatic work. Funny or Die started a comedy festival that allows you to see a ton of comics for one ticket so you can achieve your mental checklist before you shuffle off this mortal coil.
