BONNAROO Adds PUBLIC ENEMY, ANI DIFRANCO, Others and Comedy Line Up

Also, Bonnaroo 2009 will feature a host of national headlining comics in a seated, air-conditioned comedy venue. Presented by Butterfinger (yup, I saw the candy today with a Bonnaroo promo on the package) and newly named "The Comedy Sweet," the tent will welcome some of TV's most hilarious personalities, including late-night host Jimmy Fallonand Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, who will present "Bonnapoo 2009," a variety show with music, stand up, classic clips, unaired material, interviews and insults. Also on tap is "An Evening with The Daily Show," featuring correspondents John Oliver, Rob Riggle and executive producer Rory Albanese. Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter are also confirmed to perform ahead of the debut of their new Comedy Central show Michael and Michael Have Issues, along with Office spin-off Parks and Recreation star Aziz Ansari, Flight Of The Conchords (buy dvd) regulars Kristen Schaal and Arj Barker, the legendary Todd Barry, Nick Thune, Wayne Federman, Nick Kroll, Kurt Braunholer, Amy Schumer, Kumail Nanjiani and Pete Holmes.

Outside The Comedy Sweet, Butterfinger's comics will engage Bonnaroo attendees with pop-up gags throughout the festival grounds. Starting next month, The Butterfinger Comedy Network will air routines from previous Bonnaroo comedy performances including clips from Lewis Black, Brian Posehn and Joe DeRosa.
