Michael Moore, Jeff Garlin plan comedy festTraverse City, Mich., festival set for FebruaryDec 24, 2009, 02:42 PM ET
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. -- Filmmaker Michael Moore started a summer
film festival five years ago in his adopted hometown of Traverse
City, Mich. Now he's teaming with Emmy winner Jeff Garlin to
organize a midwinter comedic counterpart.
The inaugural Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival will be held Feb. 19-21. It will feature star performers, along with talented up-and-comers. The lineup will be revealed next month. Moore is a Flint native who now lives in Traverse City. The Lake Michigan resort community is about 250 miles northwest of Detroit. He and Garlin say they want to boost a state where the economy was sinking long before the nationwide downturn. In addition to stand-up performances by established artists, there will be acts featuring improvisational groups and premieres of comedy movies -- plus a show for children.
