Jash Announces Inaugural Comedy Festival Featuring Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera And More

Digital comedy collective Jash is taking its unique stylings offscreen for the inaugural JashFesht — a two-day gathering taking place in Palm Springs, Calif., during the first weekend of April.

The event will comprise live comedy sets, musical performances, screenings and talent panels featuring Jash’s founders: Michael Cera, Sarah Silverman, Reggie Watts and Tim & Eric.

In the digital world, Jash recently announced a pact to create original content for the Verizon streaming app Go90. Jash’s upcoming real life festival will serve to premiere some of those new shows, including episodes of Pound House, starring Doug Lussenhop and Brent Weinbach, and Arkippiana from UCB Founder Matt Besser.

The network, which was founded in 2013 to help comedians hone their digital strategies and also serves as a distribution platform for comedy content, describes Jashfesht as “a unique and historic gathering of the comedy community, creating a grassroots and experiential vibe,” according to a press release.

Tickets are available now at jashfesht.com, priced at $35 for the day, $50 for the weekend or $100 for a VIP pass. Programming specifics will be announced in coming weeks.

In the meantime, you can check out some of Jash’s content on its YouTube channel. Some of our favorites include this music video from Reggie Watts that attempts to answer some obvious sexual questions and this retro video game review from Nathan Fielder:
