Popular comedian Dave Chappelle will be performing three shows at the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach as part of the Tenth Annual South Beach Comedy Festival.

Thursday, April 9th / 7:30PM, Patton Oswalt takes the stage at the Fillmore Miami Beach. Patton continues to find success in all areas of entertainment, from his Grammy-nominated comedy albums to his many memorable guest roles on his favorite TV shows (including Parks and Recreation, for which he received a TV Critics Choice Award). Additionally he has appeared on Justified, Two and a Half Men, Portlandia, and Burn Notice and also voiced characters on The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers. He was a series regular on Showtime’s United States of Tara, appeared as a guest star on Bored To Death and Flight of the Conchords on HBO and The Sarah Silverman Program on Comedy Central.

Bill Burr performs Friday, April 10th / 8PM on the main stage at the Fillmore Miami Beach. Having first gained notoriety for his recurring role on the second season of Chappelle’s Show, Bill developed a comedic style of uninformed logic that has made him a regular with Letterman, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon. One of the most popular comedy podcasts on the web, Bill’s Monday Morning Podcast, is an off- the-cuff weekly rant that has become a fan favorite. Bill began the podcast in May of 2007 and has produced over 350 episodes. Bill is against organized religion and believes we should go back to the gold standard for our currency. None of his opinions are based on any sort of reliable information. He tends to go with his first thought, because reading makes him sleepy. In the near future Bill hopes to have some kids. But until then, he will continue to spend most of his mid-afternoons sitting in his sweatpants learning AC/DC songs on his SG. Reserved Seat Tickets are $49.50 and $37.50.

Mark Normand appears Friday, April 10th / 8PM in the Gleason Room Backstage at the Fillmore. Mark is a biting, smart comedian based in New York City. Mark was a semifinalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, his Comedy Central Presents: THE HALF HOUR special premiered last year, and his debut CD Still Got It was released last summer. Mark now does comedy clubs and colleges across the country and has been involved in many festivals and was featured as a New Face at the Montreal Comedy Festival, where he recorded a set for Canadian TV. In NYC Mark now runs two comedy shows and two podcasts, Hot Soup, a weekly show, We’re all Friends Here, a live show also recorded as a podcast, and Tuesdays with Stories!, a podcast from Stand Up NY Labs. General Admission Tickets are $20.00.

Hannibal Buress holds court on Saturday, April 11th / 8PM at the Fillmore Miami Beach. Hannibal is a wildly popular Emmy and WGA Award nominated comedian, writer and actor who The New York Times praises as having an “irresistible” comedic presence that lands squarely between “cerebral and swagger.” He is a cast member on the hit Comedy Central series Broad City and is the co-host of Adult Swim’s The Eric Andre Show. Hannibal’s highly-rated second hour standup special Hannibal Buress Live from Chicago premiered on Comedy Central, with GQ declaring “He makes us ugly laugh. Hard.” Hannibal has been featured on several comedy-fan favorite TV shows including FX’s Louie, Fox’s Bob’s Burgers and The Mindy Project, Comedy Central’s Kroll Show, and Adult Swim’s China, IL. He has written for NBC’s Saturday Night Live as well as 30 Rock, where he also appeared on camera several times.

Michael Yo performs Saturday, April 11th / 8PM in the Gleason Room Backstage at the Fillmore. The self-proclaimed “Half-Black Brother with a Korean Mother,” was born and raised in Houston and got his radio start in Austin at the popular central-Texas station, 96.7. He also worked in radio in Houston before moving to his other “hometown” of Miami, where he manages to stay dedicated to his Michael Yo Show on Miami’s Y100. Michael made his debut on E! in 2008 as a Host and Reporter for E! News. Michael was a regular panelist on Chelsea Lately’s round table and he can still be seen on EXTRA. General Admission Tickets are $25.00.

Once again, Mad Cat Theatre Company kicks off the Festival for the 5th time on Wednesday, April 8th / 8:30PM in the Gleason Room Backstage at the Fillmore with their production of Earthquake. Lust. Adultery. Greed. Just another day in the office for a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright chasing his glory days of two decades past. After writing a new “hard hitting, important” play, Trevor Winston has his eye set on Broadway again and in the process, finds himself compromising his work for all the wrong reasons. Can an artist survive in a world fueled by personal gain and greed? Or will he just swim in stride with the sharks? Earthquake may just shake up Broadway after all. This is a fundraiser for the Company and tickets are $60.00 (VIP) and $30.00 General Admission and $15.00 Industry and Student tickets available the day of the show at the Box Office.
