The Barbary-an Invasions: Nerdist at Outside Lands
Saturday the 11th is Nerdist Day at San Francsisco's festival of music, food, art and comedy.
For four years, the Outside Lands festival has brought Golden Gate Park the best in bands, food, art and more, but this year, Aug. 10-12, they top themselves with an entire day of Nerdist. In the Barbary, a tent with mirrored walls and a stained-glass ceiling, three days of comedy and variety include a Saturday presented by us.
Nerdist Day, August 11th (which we'd call "Sat-Nerd-Day" if BBC America hadn't beaten us to it.) kicks off at noon with a session of soft rock and sweet 'staches from Mustache Harbor. Then things really get into gear at 1 p.m. with a Nerdist stand-up cluster hosted by Jonah Ray, featuring Pete Holmes, David Koechner, Michelle Buteau, Jesse Elias and Caitlin Gill. If your weekend isn't sufficiently magical after that, stick around at 2:10 p.m. for Justin Willman and his masterful Magic Meltdown. The Dork Forest's Jackie Kashian hosts a second stand-up cluster at 5 p.m. with Reggie Watts, Ron Funches, Michelle Buteau, Cory Loykasek and Mike Drucker, and then between 5 and 8 p.m. there'll be back-to-back Nerdist variety shows featuring Chris Hardwick, Neil Patrick Harris, David Koechner, Justin Willman, Marcus Monroe, Jonah Ray, Pete Holmes, Ron Funches and Jackie Kashian. Holmes will also be hosting a live edition of You Made It Weird Sunday at noon with stars from Adult Swim.
So come and step "Outside" next weekend. In addition to our all-star line-up, some of the finest in food, beer and wine will be available, plus there's an art show and of course some heavy-hitting bands like Metallica. But to quote one of their more famous tunes, when you're hanging with the Nerdist gang at the Barbary, "Nothing Else Matters." |
