The fifth annual FuMPFeSt will be in full swing this Memorial Day weekend, May 25-27, in the Chicagoland area. The Funny Music Project’s grand comedy music shindig will take place at the Holiday Inn Chicago in Elk Grove Village, IL with national touring comedy musician The Four Postmen headlining. The Guests of Honor have been performing together since 1992 and feature electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards, drums, bass, with an emphasis on three-part vocal harmony. The FIVE-man band offers a killer live performance infused with high energy theatrics. In addition to The Four Postmen, other FuMPFeST acts will include 2D6, Bill Larkin, Lauren Mayer, Marc Gunn, Matt Griffo, Mikey Mason, Power Salad, Steve Goodie, The Library Bards, The Shanty Shipwreck Show, and Witty Cindy.
But THAT’S NOT ALL Dr. Demento Show and The FuMP fans, a weekend all-access badge (just $50!) gets you into all the concerts, a Q&A and autograph session with the Guests of Honor, panels (such as the audience-participation-rich “Dumb Parody Ideas”), special events (such The FuMP Gameshow & “Dementia Smackdown Wrestling”), panels (such as the audience-participation-rich “Dumb Parody Ideas”), a video contest, karaoke, a special celebration for the 20th Anniversary of AlCon (the first “Weird Al” Yankovic fan convention) & more!
