BRAND NEW SHOW FOR 2026!
TWO NIGHTS IN TAMPA--4/3 & 4/4
Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (Late Show) take you on a guided tour of their latest and greatest VHS finds in this brand-new show for 2026. Highlights include an infomercial by a hyperactive dollar store salesman, a video catalog of frightening porcelain dolls, two wonderfully homemade Bigfoot videos and a New Age “miracle” treatment from the 80s called “Psychic Surgery.” (90 mins - contains nudity, language, clowns)
“I think I speak for fans everywhere when I express gratitude for their continued hunt for hilariously bad videos. I hope the search never ends.” -Steven Hyden, Uproxx
The Found Footage Festival is a celebration of the videos that time forgot, dredged up in dusty thrift stores and estate sales throughout North America. Childhood friends Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (Late Show) take audiences on a guided tour of their latest and greatest VHS finds, providing commentary and where-are-they-now updates on the people in these videotaped obscurities in their live tour and their weekly YouTube show, VCR Party Live!
Pickett and Prueher began collecting found videotapes in 1991 after stumbling across a training video entitled, “Inside and Outside Custodial Duties,” at a McDonald’s in their home state of Wisconsin. Since then, they have compiled the world’s largest collection of strange, outrageous and profoundly stupid videos.
