ASPEN, CO — Turns out the folks at RooftopComedy thought it interesting to hand out some comedy industry awards. It’s about 6:15 pm here in the Mountain zone and the awards presentations just wrapped at the Wheeler Opera House. The awards were voted on by representatives from RooftopComedy’s 20 partner clubs — that is, the venues where Rooftop film everynight — as well as the 24 comedians who are performing at the festival and finally, Rooftop staff.

GoBananas in Cincinnati picked up two awards in the club category (one for being the best place for young comics to perform; the other for being the best all around club to perform). The likes of Robert Hawkins, Auggie Smith, Tyrone Hawkins, Eddie Gosling and more picked up comedian awards. And even we, Punchline Magazine, picked up an award for best online comedy publication; other nominees were TheApiary, Dead-Frog, and SheckyMagazine.
