Comedy Central Headed To Comic-Con
Comedy Central is setting up shop at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego starting on Thursday. The comedy network will hold special panels, autograph sessions, giveaways and even laser tag competitions at the biggest fan event in the country.
Comedy Central starts things off with a “Key & Peele” panel on Thursday, July 24th starting 1:30 pm featuring Keegan-Michael-Key, Jordan Peele, Director Peter Atencio and moderated by Thomas Lennon.
Following the Key & Peele panel, Comedy Central hosts a panel featuring its newest animated series, “Moonbeam City”. Creator and Executive Producer Scott Gairdner and Executive Producer Tommy Blacha will be appearing to talk about the new show described as a parody of the gritty, sex-drenched crime dramas from the 1980s and features undercover detective Dazzle Novak voiced by Rob Lowe.
On Friday, there’s a special “Brickleberry” panel and event, featuring creators and Executive Producers Waco O’Guin and Roger Black, along with voice actors David Herman (“Futurama”), Tom Kenny (“SpongeBob SquarePants”), Jerry Minor (“Eastbound & Down”) and Natasha Leggero (“Suburgatory,” “Burning Love”). The panel will host a premiere of an episode from the upcoming third season of “Brickleberry” which debuts on Tuesday, September 16 at 10:30 pm on Comedy Central.
Friday evening, Comedy Central’s Chris Hardwick hosts a live performance of @Midnight at the Balboa Theatre at 10:30 p.m. Celebrity panelists for @Midnight will be Steve Agee, Grace Helbig and Brian Posehn.
#ComedyCentralCon, Comedy Central’s free and no badge event will take place on Friday, July 25 and Saturday, July 26 at The San Diego Wine & Culinary Center directly across from the Convention Center. #ComedyCentralCon has events like “Moonbeam City” Laser Tag where fans will get a first look at the Moonbeam world, walk the streets of the city and compete with friends in a “Team Death Match” to determine the top cop of Moonbeam City.
There will also be autograph signings with the stars of “Brickleberry” plus a “Workaholics” autograph signing with Blake Anderson, Anders Holm and Kyle Newacheck on Saturday, July 26.
