BETHLEHEM, PA— It’s a night of riotous laughter when Found Footage Festival hosts Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher bring their new “Cherished Gems” show to SteelStacks Nov. 8, 8 p.m., at the ArtsQuest Center’s Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas, 101 Founders Way, Bethlehem. Tickets for the show are $13 for ArtsQuest Members and $16 for the public; they’re on sale now at www.steelstacks.org and 610-332-3378.

With appearances at the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival in Las Vegas, Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival, the New York Comedy Festival, the Impakt Festival in the Netherlands and the Central Standard Film Festival in Minneapolis, Found Footage Festival is a one-of-a-kind event that showcases hilarious (an hilariously awkward) footage from videos that were found at garage sales, thrift stores, warehouses and dumpsters across the country.

For “Cherished Gems,” curators Joe Pickett (formerly of The Onion) and Nick Prueher (formerly of The Late Show with David Letterman) take audiences on a guided tour of their favorite videotaped obscurities. From curiously-produced industrial training videos to forsaken home movies donated to Goodwill, the Found Footage Festival resurrects these forgotten treasures and serves them up in a lively celebration.

Created in 2004, Found Footage Festival has been featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, NPR and has been named a critic’s pick in dozens of publications, including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle and The Chicago Tribune.

This show contains adult language and/or situations. Anyone coming in between the ages of 13-17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian 18 or older; no child 12 or under will be admitted.
