Would you like to be part of history? Chad Riden and D. J. Buckley (of NashvilleStandUp.com) need your help to break the Guinness World record for the “Longest Stand-Up Comedy Show – Multiple Comedians.”
The event is scheduled to start April 12 at “The East Room” in Nashville, TN.
The current Guinness World Record for this category is 80 hours and was achieved by comedians at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood December 6-9, 2010. That show included 170 different acts by 150 comedians.
Nashville StandUp seeks not only break the 3.3 day / 80 hour record, it hopes to shatter it by 112 hours! That’s 8 days /192 non-stop hours of stand-up comedy featuring hundreds of talented comedians from as many locations as possible.
YOU ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE!!!
Stage time is available for all comedians who are willing to be part of this record. The show will start at 6:30 on April 12 and go for as long as humanly possible. For more info on the location of the event click here.
To offset the fees associated with paying a representative from Guinness to attend and validate the record, and to pay for staffing, video and club rental, NashvilleStandUp.com launched an IndieGoGo crowd-funding campaign. So you can be part of the event even if you can’t be present.
For more on the various donations please click here.
We also talk with the fellas about:
- Why having an email list and web site is important for your scene
- The Nashville comedy scene
- Booked shows versus open mics
- How Chad got the moniker “America's Favorite Comedian Of All Time”
So, please support the cause with time, talent and a few bucks. You will be part of history and have a new credit on your bio.
