Standup comedy has exploded in popularity in recent years, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the success of Comedy Central’s Clusterfest, which returns to the Bay Area for three days this Friday, Saturday and Sunday with major headliners—including Jon Stewart, Amy Schumer, The Lonely Island and Trevor Noah—along with myriad marquee names from the standup world, such as Jim Jefferies, David Cross and Michael Che. There will also be music. Third Eye Blind, Salt-N-Pepa and Action Bronson are among the bigger names topping the bill. All this plus special attractions, like the South Park County Fair and Paddy’s Pub.
