Popular fest returns for a night of live comedy, absurd videos, and other various hilarious
One of the region’s most beloved live comedy shows – The Found Footage Festival – is returning to Eau Claire in less than a month. As in the past, FFF founders Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher are teaming up with Volume One to put on a rollicking show, this time at The Oxford Theatre (1814 N Oxford Ave., Eau Claire) on Sunday, December 1. The festival features a compilation of “obscure audio-visual candy” ranging from strange instructional videos to community television clips. This year, the FFF will be presenting a special “Best of the Midwest” show (an all-new lineup for local audiences). Go to their website (FoundFootageFest.com) for more information about the festival, as well as archived clips from previous ones. Tickets are only $10 and can be purchased on their website or at the door.
