The creators of the Found Footage Festival want to mock your embarrassing videos in front of a large group of people. Well, maybe not mock “you” specifically, unless you happened to appear on public access show “Stairway to Stardom.”
Or are this guy.
“Stairway to Stardom” and the astrology songs of Harvey Sid Fisher are staples of the Found Footage Festival, started in 2004 by Wisconsin chums Joe Pickett, Nick Prueher, and Geoff Haas. Currently based out of New York, Prueher and Pickett now tour the country exhibiting from their massive and esoteric collection of VHS tapes, accumulated from the thrift stores, garage sales, and dumpsters they come across in their travels.
Particularly fond of the bizarre, the embarrassing, and the just plain unexplainable, Prueher and Pickett offer live commentary to accompany their selection of clips. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll definitely cringe when the duo brings their show back to Wisconsin this Thursday, November 11 for two homecoming shows at the Oriental Theatre. Both shows are being recorded for the next volume of the Festival’s DVD series, its fifth.
$10 tickets for both shows are available here.
