Sarah’s Backstage Pass attended a Red Carpet event for the premiere of the film “Year One” and the honoring of Harold Ramis the recipient of the Just For Laughs Lifetime Achievement Award. The award is in recognition and celebration of Ramis’s three decades of producing, writing, acting and directing. Just For Laughs awards this honor annually to artists who, during their lifetime, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of comedy.

It was a torrential downpour on the evening of June 17, 2009 at the Music Box Theater in Chicago. First to walk the Red Carpet were the founders of the festival and they spoke with enthusiasm and anticipation as this was the first year of the Festival. When asked about what audiences will expect, they replied, “There’s a little something for everyone; 11 venues, all types of humor, Jimmy Fallon and Martin Short are an example of some of the shows. Historically Chicago has a rich comedic audience we therefore feel this is the perfect home for the Festival.”
