If we were Seinfeld, we’d have a bass player follow us everywhere to play that riff.

They’re all filtering into that great big Chuckle Hut on the Strip. Caesars Palace kicks off three days as Comedy Central starting tonight. Well, the center of comedy. Not the TV station. That would be some kind of infringement or something. Anyway. You get the point.

The main acts for The Comedy Festival bounce between the Augustus Ballroom, the Palace Ballroom and the Colosseum, while the Emperors Ballroom will be transformed into a comedy club called the LOL Lounge (not to be confused with the much less entertaining LOLcats Lounge) that will be simulcast live online. Meanwhile, Janet Varney of Dinner & a Movie and Ian Bagg of The Ian Bagg Show will host The Web Show, where they’ll go onto the casino floor for interviews and the like. Keep going for the full schedule.
