Jeff Lewis 5-Minute Comedy Hour(JL5) @ ITVfest
Hello! Just wanted to update the info regarding the JL5 screening at ITVfest.
In the festival program, we are listed as screening just on Tuesday, August 9th at 10PM. Since it was the only mention of the show, I assumed that all 3 episodes I delivered were going to be screened during that block.
However, I just found out that the 3 episodes were split across 3 different times(one last night, one Tuesday night @10PM, and one on Thursday @ 6PM)
I realize there have been mixed feelings about the overall festival(mine included), but I should point out that when the 3 episodes were originally submitted, I was told that they would be spread out across different programs, so this news isn’t completely out of left field(run-on sentence party!). I do wish the schedule had been clear on announcing all 3 screenings and am not sure why only one was in the schedule while there was no mention of the other two.
I also don’t want to discourage people from still checking out the Tuesday night program. You will still get 90 minutes of content. This post is mainly for those who were thinking of attending just to support JL5.
We haven’t really promoted this screening too much, so I hope that no one has bought tickets in the hopes of watching multiple episodes of JL5. Just to be clear, we’ll be taking up only 5 minutes of a 90 minute block of other webshows this Tuesday night @10PM.
Jeff will be out of town, but I am hoping to make it to the program on Thursday the 11th where we will be screening alongside some other great web series such as Jessica Mills’ “Awkward Embraces”. The program is called LOVE VS FRIENDSHIP and the link for tickets can be found here.
http://itvfest.org/schedule.php#7
Just click BUY TICKETS on any of the shows that are playing at 6PM and they’ll all direct you to the same order page. You’ll notice that JL5 is not listed among them, but is scheduled to play(Surprise????).
Sorry for any confusion. If you did buy tickets for Tuesday and want a refund, contact general@itvfest.org
I’ll end this post with a picture of Jeff signing someone’s forehead. Fuck yeah.
