If you can visit Aspen in March, make sure that you  catch the US Comedy Arts Festival that is held in  various venues throughout Aspen. This is one of the  major events for comedians all over the country –  and it is some of the best entertainment you will  ever experience.

The US Comedy Arts Festival features every type of  comedy you can imagine, including Stand-up  comedy, film shorts, alternative comedy, and sketch  comedy. Tribute is given to some of the greatest  comedians from the past, such as Rodney  Dangerfield, Monty Python, and George Carlin. You  will also have the opportunity to enjoy many of  today’s famous comedians, and hear some unknown  or up and coming comedians as well.

Make sure that you don’t miss this festival – and  make sure that you make your plans and reservations  very early. The lodges and hotels will fill up fast for  this festival, and according to locals, this is the  hardest time of the year to find lodging in Aspen –  which is a good indication of how good the  entertainment is!
