DAY OF SHOW TICKETS - $20

By popular demand, the Found Footage Festival—the acclaimed touring showcase of odd and hilarious found videos—will reprise its sold-out Volume 3 program one last time in New York. Hosts Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher, whose credits include The Onion and the Late Show with David Letterman, are excited to present this classic lineup along with some newly unearthed gems in a one-night-only performance at Comix (353 W. 14th St.) on Wednesday, March 4th at 8 pm.

The Found Footage Festival is a one-of-a-kind event that compiles more than an hour’s worth of footage from videos that were found at garage sales and thrift stores and in warehouses and dumpsters throughout the country. Curators Pickett and Prueher host each screening in-person and provide their unique observations and commentary on these found video obscurities. From the curiously-produced industrial training video to the forsaken home movie donated to Goodwill, the Found Footage Festival resurrects these forgotten treasures and serves them up in a lively celebration of all things found.

Among the clips to be featured in the Best of the Found Footage Festival show:

- 17 workplace sexual harassment videos, edited down to three minutes of just the best reenactments
- A collection of exercise videos featuring Playgirl’s 1985 Man of the Year, a scantily-clad Angela Lansbury, and a guru who calls himself “The Laughing Yogi.”
- Video contributions from David Cross and Chris Elliott
- A collection of newly unearthed video clips the curators are working on for Volume 4

The Found Footage Festival was founded in New York in 2004 and has gone on to sell out hundreds of shows across the U.S. and Canada, including the HBO Comedy Festival at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. The festival has been featured on National Public Radio, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and G4 TV’s Attack of the Show, and has been named a “Critic’s Pick” in dozens of publications, including The Village Voice, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle and The Chicago Tribune.
