YouTube Comedy Week’s very important personalities
Friday, May 24, 2013
What do you get when you combine world-famous comedians with the world’s biggest video-sharing site? OK, you guessed it: YouTube Comedy Week. But Comedy Week is about a lot more than simply bringing together comedy’s best and brightest for an online celebration of funny.
This week we also connected with YouTube’s biggest comedy fans. We decided to shine our spotlight on seven "Super Fans": Zach, Christine, Mavis, Lo, Jesse, Mike and Jack (the 14-year-old "Britain’s Got Talent"
comedian
whose first YouTube video got more than 3 million views).
To thank these loyal YouTubers for being so awesome, we brought them to L.A. to be part of the Big Live Comedy Show on Sunday, May 19. We gave them a special VIP experience that included a glamorous walk down the Red Carpet, a backstage tour, and tickets to the
Big Live Comedy Show
and
the after party.
The Super Seven dropped everything and flew in from all over the country (and world) to attend: the U.K., New Jersey, South
and
North Carolina, and Washington state. They came together for their love of YouTube comedy, and they were not disappointed. The day was full of smiles, vines, tweets and videos as they met their favorite comedians, including (but not limited to!)
Smosh
,
Hannibal Buress
,
Reggie Watts
,
JASH
,
Tim and Eric
,
Skrillex
and
"Workaholics."
At the end of the night, they tore up the dance floor with countless Comedy Week performers.
Wish you could’ve been there too? Don’t get us wrong, we love ALL our comedy fans, and we’re still looking for more YouTubers to show us just how much they love laughing … from the comfort of their own home. Want to be involved with Comedy Week? Here’s how:
Create a Top 10 list of your favorite
YouTube Comedy Week videos
and tweet it out to us @YouTube #ComedyWeek.
Show us your best
spit take
, and post the video to #SpitTake. We’ll highlight the funniest and most creative renditions.
There’s a world of amazing comedy out there, and it’s all coming together for one side-splitting week. Be sure to keep laughing--and keep
us
laughing.
