The CC Insider's Bonnaroo Wrap-Up

CC Insider Agent Nicole went down to the Bonnaroo Festival last weekend and came back with this comedy-packed report. (Apparently there were also BANDS at Bonnaroo, but Comedians are the new Rock Stars...)

This weekend, CC Insider headed to Bonnaroo with a hacky sack and a dream -- to watch the gospel of comedy be brought to thousands of jam-band-loving, shower impaired hippies.

80,000 attendees gathered on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee for four days filled with crowds, crowds and more crowds. Bonnaroovians wishing to see a show inside the air-conditioned Not Another Comedy Tent needed to schedule an hour or more of wait time for even the earliest sets.

Vic Henley, Morgan Murph, Jon Reep, Tom Papa and Demetri Martin warmed up the crowd of early birds on Thursday night, dispensing a southern comfort cocktail with a slice of song.
