It's going to be a raging good time as fans get animated and hang out with a couple of broads when shows "Drunk History Live," "Brickleberry" and "Down n' Dirty Hosted by 'Broad City's' Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer Featuring Bridget Everett & the Tender Moments and Brad Williams" travel to Manchester, TN for the annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.

The "Drunk History Live with Derek Waters and Friends" show will take place at Bonnaroo Cinema on Saturday, June 14 at 3:45 p.m. Hosted by series co-creator Derek Waters, the show will be an interactive experience and Q&A with special guests including Peter Farrelly, Taran Killam, Molly McAleer, Kyle Mooney and Nick Rutherford. In addition, Waters will give fans an exclusive First Look at the second season of "Drunk History" which debuts on Tuesday, July 1 at 10:00 p.m.ET/PT on Comedy Central. The half-hour series pairs inebriated storytellers with A-list talent to reenact great moments in history.

The "Brickleberry" panel will take place at Bonnaroo Cinema on Saturday, June 14 at 5:15 p.m. and feature creators, voice actors and executive producers Waco O'Guin and Roger Black as they discuss the creative process of the animated show and exclusively screen never-before-seen footage followed by a Q&A. The third season of "Brickleberry" premieres on Tuesday, September 16at 10:30 p.m.ET/PT on Comedy Central.

Jacobson and Glazer are excited to bring their unique brand of comedy to Bonnaroo with the live show "Down n' Dirty Hosted by 'Broad City's' Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer Featuring Bridget Everett & the Tender Moments and Brad Williams" taking place at the Comedy Theatre on Saturday, June 14 at 2:30 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. and Sunday, June 15 at 2:00 p.m. "Broad City" the Comedy Central series, created by UCB alums Jacobson and Glazer and produced by Amy Poehler, is an odd-couple comedy about two best friends navigating their twenties in New York City. Abbi and Ilana are broke and flawed, and they don't shy away from the sticky situations NYC throws at them - they dive right into the muck. But no matter how bad it gets, these young broads are always down with whatever hits them.

The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is scheduled to take place June 12-15 in Manchester, TN with the full 2014 Bonnaroo Cinema and Comedy Theatre line-up available atwww.bonnaroo.com.

About Bonnaroo:

Set on 700 acres in Manchester, TN, Bonnaroo is a four-day festival that draws 80,000 fans every summer. Featuring over 120 musical performances, along with comedy, cinema, sustainability workshops and more, the grounds are converted into a virtual city of music and art. The legendary event began in 2002 as a remarkable idea to serve a passionate fanbase, and ended up becoming the premier multi-day concert destination of the summer which dynamic and eclectic programming paved the way for the age of the great American music festival. Bonnaroo has now evolved into becoming much more than just a concert destination; it has become a cultural touchstone and, for two generations of music fans, a rite of passage. Each year, the lineup cements Bonnaroo as a force in music discovery, exposing its fans to legendary artists, current favorites, as well as breaking acts.
