The second annual Clusterfest, a three-day comedy fair going down in San Francisco this summer, may have dropped the word colossal from its original title, but the lineup definitely features some monumental talent and fun.
Headliners
Jon Stewart headlines the festival and he’s bringing some A-list friends. Expect sets from Amy Schumer, Tiffany Haddish, Michael Che, David Cross, Jim Jefferies, Thomas Middleditch, Ben Schwartz and Trevor Noah throughout the weekend. And because the current president will likely be the butt of many of Noah’s jokes, The Daily Show is also setting up the Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library in town. You can explore the finest works from Trump’s Twitter account and even get the chance to compose your own POTUS tweet while sitting upon a golden toilet.
Live music
The trio The Lonely Island is making history with its first live concert. Made up of Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone, TLI is known for viral hits such as “Dick in a Box,” “Jizz in My Pants” and “Motherlover.” For more throwback hits, check out performances by Bronson, Salt-N-Pepa and Reggie Watts.
Drinking opportunities
Enter the world of South Park and join Cartman, Kenny and Chef at the county fair, where you can try your luck at classic carnival and drinking games. Also, the team behind It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia will bring Paddy’s Pub back to life, serving thematic dishes such as Beef and Beer and Rum Ham, as well as hosting interactive game nights featuring Flipadelphia and pub trivia.
Nostalgia
Hey, ’90s kids, this one’s for you: NickSplat, Nickelodeon’s programming block dedicated to its legendary library of hits from the ’90s and the aughts, will host Double Dare in downtown SF. You heard right. Attendees will get to race through iconic challenges all weekend long, culminating with a legit Double Dare show on Sunday afternoon. Word on the street is, some of the celebs might even run the course with you. We call dibs on Haddish.
Clusterfest takes over the Civic Center Plaza and the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, June 1–3; $275–750.
