This beast of a comedy festival storms into iO West next week, June 1st and runs through June 7th. To give you an idea of the scope of this festival, here’s a short list of the comedians you’ll be able to see perform:

Carlos Alazraqui - Reno 911
Tim Meadows - Saturday Night Live
Bob Odenkirk - Mr Show
Peter Bonerz - The Bob Newhart Show
Kevin Heffernan, Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske - Broken Lizard
Maria Bamford - Comedians of Comedy
Creed Bratton, Angela Kinsey - The Office

You read that right; some of the funniest people you’ve ever heard of and a guy named Bonerz. For more information, schedule of events, complete performance list, and to buy tickets, check out the official website.

If you can’t wait till June 1st, you can still go check out comedy at iO. If you want to see the pinnacle of iO improv, you’ll want to check out the Harold shows. And if you want to see a particularly good Harold show, you’re actually just in time for the Harold Competition Championship, tomorrow, Tuesday at 10pm at the iO theater for only $5. The finale is down to super-group Powerhouse and super-super-group Sweetness. Not to show favoritism, but dude, sweetness.

Harold V. Sweetness - 5/27/08, 10pm, $5 - 6366 Hollywood Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90028
Los Angeles Improv Comedy Festival - June 1st-June 7th - Same place, homies
