The smash hit comedy show featuring two friends unearthing their latest weird and wonderful VHS finds has announced they are coming back to British shores with a stop at Liverpool’s own VideOdyssey, dubbed the ‘UK’s last video shop’ by BBC Radio 4 – which also features a TV studio turned cinema.
A perfect place to take a seat this March, when The Found Footage Festival, the acclaimed touring showcase of odd and hilarious found videos returns with a brand-new show, Volume 9.
Hosts Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett, whose credits include The Onion and The Colbert Report, will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Found Footage Festival in a nine date tour across England.
The Found Footage Festival is a one-of-a-kind celebration of the videos that time forgot, dredged up in dusty thrift stores and estate sales throughout North America.
Childhood friends Pickett and Prueher take audiences on a guided tour of their latest and greatest VHS finds, providing live commentary and where-are-they-now updates on the people in these videotaped obscurities.
Highlights of the new show include:
● Recently unearthed footage from the 1987 Miss Junior America Wisconsin pageant
● An exercise video called “Skiercise!”
● A local news story about Pudgie Wudgie the Wonder Cat
● A 1982 beauty pageant for men from the southwest of England
● Cringe-worthy courtroom footage of Pickett and Prueher in their legal depositions following a federal lawsuit over their news pranks as strongman duo, Chop & Steele
