Aspen Laugh Festival: Pete Lee

  • Wheeler Opera House 320 East Hyman Avenue Aspen, CO, 81611 United States (map)

The first standup comedian to get a standing ovation on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, after Jimmy attended one of Pete’s live shows in NYC and immediately invited him on the show. Pete’s joyful humor comes from his Midwestern roots. Raised in Janesville, WI, by divorced parents and a 19-inch television, he was destined to pursue a career in entertainment. In 2008 Pete shot his own Comedy Central half hour special, which earned him a cult following at comedy clubs, and the opportunity to perform over the next ten years at 500 colleges across the country. Currently, Pete is a cast member of TruTV’s Greatest Ever and he hosts his own segment on Nickelodeon’s Nick Toons, in coordination with the NFL, called NFL Rush. He’s also a regular on TruTV’s Comedy Knockout and Comedy Central’s Roast Battle. And he starred in a documentary titled I Need You to Kill that is now available on iTunes and Amazon. If you haven’t heard of Pete Lee yet, prepare to tell other people.
