The Found Footage Festival has been around for quite a while now. This is actually the 7th round, with the first in 2004. Personally, I had never heard of this amazing event until my friend mentioned it to me this weekend. Here is the basic jist, curators Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher collect awesome videos that they find at garage sales, thrift stores, etc. or that people find and send their way. They share many on their website here, but they also take their videos on the road and share them with audiences across the country. Some are super funny while others are just straight up bizarre. During their tours they provide commentary and updates on the stars of their videos. If you check out their site, you will find that the videos are reason enough to head to the fest. But, the fact that Joe & Nick will also be at the event is quite appealing. Part of the reason I say this is because these are the guys that pulled off the hilarious Kenny "K-Strass" Yo-Yo Master pranks, along with Kenny of course. This is one of my all time favorite videos. If you don't know what I'm referring to, do yourself a favor and check out a clip below.
And, because it is the Found Footage Festival, here is one of the best videos that I found through the Found Footage site.
If you are ready for a night of comedy gold and some of best productions ever made, you can pick up your tickets for the FFF here. Tickets are only $10 in advance or $12 the day of the show. It is all happening this Wednesday, December 17th at 8 p.m. and 18 and up are welcome. The Magic Bag is located at 22920 Woodward Ave. in Ferndale. For more details on this event, click here.
