Bill Burr performs Friday, April 10th / 8PM on the main stage at the Fillmore Miami Beach. Having first gained notoriety for his recurring role on the second season of Chappelle’s Show, Bill developed a comedic style of uninformed logic that has made him a regular with Letterman, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon. One of the most popular comedy podcasts on the web, Bill’s Monday Morning Podcast, is an off- the-cuff weekly rant that has become a fan favorite. Bill began the podcast in May of 2007 and has produced over 350 episodes. Bill is against organized religion and believes we should go back to the gold standard for our currency. None of his opinions are based on any sort of reliable information. He tends to go with his first thought, because reading makes him sleepy. In the near future Bill hopes to have some kids. But until then, he will continue to spend most of his mid-afternoons sitting in his sweatpants learning AC/DC songs on his SG. Reserved Seat Tickets are $49.50 and $37.50.

Mark Normand appears Friday, April 10th / 8PM in the Gleason Room Backstage at the Fillmore. Mark is a biting, smart comedian based in New York City.

Hannibal Buress holds court on Saturday, April 11th / 8PM at the Fillmore Miami Beach. Hannibal is a wildly popular Emmy and WGA Award nominated comedian, writer and actor who The New York Times praises as having an “irresistible” comedic presence that lands squarely between “cerebral and swagger.” He is a cast member on the hit Comedy Central series Broad City and is the co-host of Adult Swim’s The Eric Andre Show. Hannibal’s highly-rated second hour standup special Hannibal Buress Live from Chicago premiered on Comedy Central, with GQ declaring “He makes us ugly laugh. Hard.” Hannibal has been featured on several comedy-fan favorite TV shows including FX’s Louie, Fox’s Bob’s Burgers and The Mindy Project, Comedy Central’s Kroll Show, and Adult Swim’s China, IL. He has written for NBC’s Saturday Night Live as well as 30 Rock, where he also appeared on camera several times.

Adultery. Greed. Just another day in the office for a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright chasing his glory days of two decades past. After writing a new “hard hitting, important” play, Trevor Winston has his eye set on Broadway again and in the process, finds himself compromising his work for all the wrong reasons. Can an artist survive in a world fueled by personal gain and greed? Or will he just swim in stride with the sharks? Earthquake may just shake up Broadway after all. This is a fundraiser for the Company and tickets are $60.00 (VIP) and $30.00 General Admission and $15.00 Industry and Student tickets available the day of the show at the Box Office.

In his dynamic one man show “Miami, Don’t Feed the Natives” Miami’s uber-talented comedian/actor FREDDY STEBBINS, brings seven of his best native personas to life onstage. Sharing their lives, eccentricities, problems, laughs, music and uniquely Miami opinions, Stebbins gives us a comical glimpse at the new type of Natives that call Miami home in the 21st century. From an overenthusiastic divorced Latina diva in Hialeah, to a 93 yr old retired Jewish Stand up-comic, a gregarious yet overbearing anti-Castro Middle aged Cuban Exile, a sexually repressed Anti-immigrant cracker “preacher”, a young pirate radio DJ from Trinidad in Overtown, or perhaps a seance with legendary Puerto Rican astrologer “Walter Mercato” – Freddy Stebbins brings these and other uniquely “305” personalities to life. Coupled with interviews and videos featuring the truly bizarre yet funny oddities of this “jungle” he calls Miami.

Tickets are $45.50 and $35.50.

Appearing Friday April 19th, 8PM at the Colony Theatre is Amy Schumer who is returning from her sold-out show at last year’s Festival. Schumer was recently featured as one of Variety’s “Top Ten Comics to Watch” and her hit one-hour special, titled “Amy Schumer: Mostly Sex Stuff,” aired on Comedy Central and was one of the highest-rated and most-watched stand-up specials in 2012 with over 1.6 million total viewers watching the premiere. In 2011, she released her first album “Cutting” on Comedy Central Records. Her new series “Inside Amy Schumer,” premieres Tuesday, April 30 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central and features Schumer’s provocative and hilariously wicked mind as she explores topics revolving around sex, relationships, and the general clusterf*ck that is life through a series of scripted vignettes, stand-up comedy and man-on-the street interviews. Tickets are $35.00.

Sarah Silverman performs Saturday, April 20th, 8PM at the Fillmore Miami Beach. Emmy winner Sarah Silverman, dubbed by Rolling Stone “the most outrageously funny woman alive,” is as versatile of a performer as they come. Her repertoire includes everything from film and television, stand-up comedy, to iconic online videos, and she added author to this list when she released her first book the New York Times Bestseller, The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee. Silverman was nominated for a Primetime Emmy in the Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series category for her portrayal of a fictionalized version of herself in her Comedy Central series “The Sarah Silverman Program.” This marked Comedy Central’s first ever Emmy nomination in a scripted acting category.

Tickets are $59.50, $45.00 and $35.00.

Late night, 10:30PM, on Saturday, April 20th Jim Jefferies takes over the Fillmore stage. One of the most sought after comedians, Jefferies returned this past summer to sold-out performances at Montreal’s Just For Laughs and Edinburgh’s Fringe Comedy Festival. In keeping with his reputation for being brutally honest, Jefferies cleverly subverts our expectation as he takes on topics such as fatherhood, love and education as well as his favourites: religion, porn and politics. He was seen in his Showtime one-hour comedy special Alcoholocaust and his debut Jim Jefferies: I Swear To God on HBO. His bold and painfully honest commentary captivated all who tuned in. Tickets are $35.50.

Finally on Sunday, April 21st, 7PM Jamel Debouzze takes the Fillmore stage for his first live performance in the

US, and the entire show will be in French. As a youth he participated in several improv contests such as the World Amateur Improvisation Championship in Quebec. In 1997, at only 17 years old, he got his first role in the cinema. This marked the beginning of a long series of movies such as Amélie, a film by Jean Pierre Jeunet, and Asterix & Obelix Meet Cleopatra, for which he was nominated for a César Award for best actor in a supporting role. Jamel continued to perform live on tour but also in the most beautiful Parisians venues such as the mythic Olympia. In July 2006, Debouzze created “Jamel’s Comedy Club”, a TV show taped in his theater that highlights new talent. In 2011 Jamel made his big return to the stage with a whole new show called “All About Jamel”. As the title says, he unveiled everything about himself, broaching events from his life with the humor and expressiveness that characterize him. Tickets are $75.50, $55.50 and $35.50.

There will also be exciting performances at the intimate BACKSTAGE at the Fillmore venue which brings attendees up close and personal with the performers.

First on Wednesday, April 17th the popular Mad Cat Theater Company presents two performances at 7 and 9:30PM. This time Mad Cat company member, Jessica Farr has written a new play “Charming Acts of Misery” that follows the ups and downs of fashion muse Isabella Blow (1958-2007) known to most for her brazen individual style and for discovering Alexander McQueen. Spanning several decades, this whirligig ride into Isabella’s life traverses both the fashion scene and the underpinnings of its central character’s psyche. We follow “Issi” through the jungles of Sri Lanka, New York City and London until the lines between her public and private life become intensely blurred. Get ready South Beach and put a hat on it! Directed by Paul Tei. This is a fundraiser for the Company and tickets are $45.00 (VIP) and $25.00 in advance. On the day of the show tickets are $30.00 and $50.00 (VIP) available at the box office only.

Then on Friday, April 19th, 8PM, Joey “Coco” Diaz takes the stage. Sometimes it takes a huge movie role or a part in a popular television series to put a stand-up comedian on the radar; with Diaz it was a #1 comedy album on iTunes and Billboard. Diaz has appeared in numerous films and television shows but his storytelling on the extremely popular podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience” really showcased one of the funniest comedians working today. Diaz’ R-rated outlook on life will get you howling in your seats but that’s what a good comedian is supposed to do. What makes him special is his ability to tell a story so that regardless of the subject matter, you’re still laughing. Whether it’s lighting a hooker’s wig on fire, or attacking a nun in the 5th grade, you’ll be cheering for him. Tickets are $20.00.

Pete Holmes performs on Saturday, April 20th, 8PM. Pete Holmes is a nationally touring standup comedian, actor, improviser, writer and cartoonist and now TBS has just announced that Holmes will have his own late night show at midnight following Conan. As a standup, Holmes also has a one hour Comedy Central Special, Nice Try, the Devil which will air in 2013. His 2011 CD Impregnated with Wonder made several “Top Comedy Recordings” lists. He’s appeared on his own half-hour “Comedy Central Presents” and on “Premium Blend.” He was also featured on VH1’s “Best Week Ever.” Pete has written for and voices multiple characters on Comedy Central’s “Ugly Americans” and is the voice and writer of the popular “E*Trade Baby” commercials. Tickets are $20.00.

And don’t forget to catch the free Outdoor Comedy Stage on Lincoln Road at Euclid Avenue, nightly from Thursday through Saturday at 9PM. Always a highlight of the Festival, this year you can catch rising stars Michael Che, Chris Distefano, Sean Donnelly, Sarah Tiana and Brooks Wheelan.

All dates, acts and ticket prices are subject to change without notice. All tickets are subject to applicable taxes, parking and service and handling charges.

South Beach Comedy Festival returns to Miami Beach Wednesday, February 29th to Saturday, March 3rd, for another laugh-filled extravaganza featuring some of the world’s funniest entertainers. Now in its seventh year, the South Beach Comedy Festival, presented by Joe Boxer, continues to grow and remains the premiere comedy festival for top comedic talent and fans across the country. This year’s event features Lewis Black, Donald Glover, Aziz Ansari, Jeff Ross and much, much more.

Live Nation is proud to announce two new sponsors to the festival in 2012, including presenting sponsor Joe Boxer, best known for its irreverent marketing and identifiable product designs, and Slacker Radio, as the official personal radio service of the festival.

Comedy Central and Live Nation also welcome back sponsors Kia Motors (6th year) and Taco Bell (7th year) as well as Schick, The Miami Beach Visitors and Convention Authority, The Miami Herald, the IMPROV and Deco Drive.

Once again the Festival will utilize multiple locations to highlight its exciting variety of talent. Acts will perform at the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre, 1700 Washington Avenue; Colony Theater, 1040 Lincoln Road; and the unique Backstage at the Fillmore. The Lincoln Road Stage at Euclid Avenue will also serve as the home to the Festival’s outdoor, nightly, free comedy stage every evening from Thursday through Saturday at 9PM.

The Festival begins on Wednesday, February 29th featuring the World premiere of Will Ferrell’s latest movie, Casa De Mi Padre at the Colony Theatre. Scheming on a way to save their father’s ranch, the Alvarez brothers (Will Ferrell and Diego Luna) find themselves in a war with Mexico’s most feared drug lord (Gael García Bernal). The movie is billed as “from the same Gringos that brought you Anchorman!” This is the first public showing anywhere of the film and admission is by invitation only.

Lewis Black performs Thursday, March 1st, 8PM at the Fillmore Miami Beach. There isn’t any famous person in the world, in or out of politics, who Lewis has not skewered with his rapier wit and fast-paced rantings. Audiences can expect “America’s Foremost Commentator on Everything” to share his opinion on anything and keep them in stitches at the same time. Lewis is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, actor and author. Receiving critical acclaim, he performs over 200 nights a year to sold out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and The United States. He is one of few performers to sell out multiple, renowned theatres, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Lewis’ live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. Lewis yells so they don’t have to. A passionate performer who is more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon, Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world. Tickets are $39.50, $49.50 and $75.00 in advance with a $5.00 per ticket increase on day of show.

Shaq’s All-Star Comedy Jam takes center court at the Fillmore on Friday, March 2nd, 8PM. He may have retired from the NBA, but Shaquille O’Neal is still working…hard!

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are debuting their original sketch-comedy show on Comedy Central on January 31st. Tickets are $25.50.

Jeffrey Ross appears Saturday, March 3rd, 8PM at the Colony Theatre.

In July 2010, Donald received the first-ever Rising Comedy Star of the Year Award at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.

Three Nights Only — March 9-11, 2012
The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater

Emmy winning star of all three “Ice Age” films, “Carlito’s Way,” Baz Lurhmann’s “Romeo + Juliet” and “Moulin Rouge!,” “To Wong Foo…” and “Executive Decision” stars in “Ghetto Klown”

Emmy Award winner John Leguizamo, known for his many film roles — as the voice of Sid in all three “Ice Age” films, Baz Lurhmann’s “Romeo + Juliet” and “Moulin Rouge!,” “To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar,” “Carlito’s Way,” and “Executive Decision” — performs his Broadway show “Ghetto Klown” for three performances only March 9-11 at the The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater as part of his 2012 US tour.

The New York Times says that Leguizamo on stage is “irresistible. He has the energy of a 12-year old who has just downed a Red Bull and a jumbo package of Twinkies.” Variety says he is hyper-talented with “Dead-on and deliciously cruel impersonations.” The Los Angeles Times says he is “a nuclear performer, ricocheting around the stage as though he had been shot out of a pistol!”

John says, “I love that all my peoples are showing up to witness the latest chapter of my life on stage; I want to keep this show open until I’ve messed up my 10 year old son enough for him to be my understudy.” Conceived and performed by Leguizamo and directed by Academy Award winner Fisher Stevens, “Ghetto Klown” is presented by WestBeth Entertainment.

Leguizamo, who has appeared in more than fifty films and was also seen on Nickelodeon series “The Brothers Garcia,” as well as on “ER” and “Miami Vice,” is also one of the nation’s most accomplished stage performers. “Ghetto Klown” is the next chapter in John Leguizamo’s popular personal and professional story. It is his fifth one-man play, his third on Broadway, and follows in the uninhibited tradition of his “Mambo Mouth,” “Spic-O-Rama,” “Freak,” and “Sexaholix … a Love Story.” In Leguizamo’s trademark style, the piece explodes with energy, heating up the stage with vivid accounts of the colorful characters that populate his life. He takes audiences from his adolescent memories in Queens to the early days of his acting career and on to the sets of major motion pictures and his roles opposite some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
