8:00pm – Comedy Night
Comedy club pros - stand-up comedians, Phil Palisoul and Elliot Woolsey, attempt to tickle the funny bones for the benefit of Carriage House Preschoolers at Ullr Fest’s Comedy Night.

Phil Palisoul has made his living as a comedian for 25 years. In that time, he’s been all over the world, performing in such far flung places as Hong Kong, China, and Juno, Alaska. He recently toured Afghanistan to perform for the troops with Comics on Duty. He’s worked with and won the respect of some of the biggest names in comedy, like Jerry Seinfeld, Drew Carey and George Lopez. His list of corporate clients is long and illustrious and includes GMC, Coca-Cola, and IBM.

Elliot Woolsey is a larger than life stand-up comedian from Denver, Colorado. Towering at an unnatural 6 5, and weighing in at barely-healthy 250 pounds, Elliot’s high-energy, commanding stage presence, and relatable material has made him a rising star in the Denver comedy scene. Elliot is the winner of the 2012 Comedy Works new faces contest, and has become a regular at the club, opening for amazing acts like T.J Miller, Todd Glass, and Josh Blue.
