Gena Buhler, Producer of Aspen Laugh Festival and Wheeler Opera House Executive and Artistic Director, states, "Comedy has a long history in Aspen, starting 25 years ago with HBO Comedy Arts. 2020 celebrates 10 years of the Wheeler produced Aspen Laugh Festival, and we wanted to make it an incredible festival. I've had the chance to see Trevor Noah in very large halls across North America, and to bring him and his stand-up to our historic and intimate venue is an opportunity that should not be missed. Not to be overshadowed by Trevor is a fantastic line-up of incredibly talented and hilarious comics. It's going to be a fantastic week of comedy in Aspen, and I hope everyone will join us with venues across Aspen, including our own Wheeler Opera House."

Norm Macdonald

Thursday, February 20 at 7:30 PM

Norm Macdonald is best known for his 4-year stint on Saturday Night Live where Chevy Chase noted he was the best anchor to ever grace the chair. Although he is known for tv and film appearances, Norm Macdonald is first and foremost, a stand-up comic. Comedy Central named him in their top 100 comedians of all time and he retires all material he has used on specials and guarantees that no two shows will ever be identical. He is a stand-up comedian who must be seen to be believed.

Dusty Slay

You can take the boy out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the boy... Stand-up comedian Dusty Slay grew up on Lot 8 of a mobile home neighborhood in Opelika, Alabama, and his observational comedy and eternally optimistic outlook is peppered with ironies: growing up poor, a love for both hard-core country and classic rock, a career history peppered with jobs like waiting tables and selling pesticides, and what counts as fashion-forward thinking in his world.

Trevor Noah
