Now, it’s time we let Denis Leary and a crushing new Comics Come Home lineup sprinkle some of their own dirty water on its mystique. As announced today (August 22), the longest-running comedy fundraiser in the country is returning for a 27th year when Leary and his hand-picked gang of stand-up Avengers set up shop for another […]</p>

<p>Editor’s Note: We’re too far into August to turn back now, and that means we’re getting close, but not nearly close enough to finishing our fight against the dragging dog days of this bogus, humid summer. With all of the stress and frustration that continues to pile up with every rainstorm and inability to some sun, it seems only right to assume that the best remedy for that would be, at the very least, to laugh. Lucky for you, we’ve […]</p>

About six years ago, Billy McFarland "organized" the Fyre Festival, which was such a disaster that attendees had to be airlifted off Exhuma in the Bahamas, similar to the scene in Apocalypse now. Following that, Mcfarland pled not guilty to fraud related to the event, although he eventually did change his plea to guilty and serve a few years in jail. He also pled guilty to fraud for crimes he committed while out on bail for the first set of fraudulent charges. Attendees also sued McFarland and his company via a class action. Well… McFarland and Fyre fest are BACK! (McFarland got sprung from the joint in May 2022). Tickets are now on sale for Fyre festival II, with prices ranging from $499 to $7,999. McFarland has not announced any acts, or any specific location, or any specific date, but he did say that it will take place in the Carribean "sometime in 2024." You can see McFarland's announcement video below. In it, he says he came up with the plan for Fyre II while in solitary confinement.
