there hasn't been much talk of comedy acts in the other threads.. so i figured it would be better to just start a new one.
Wishlist/Speculation - Patton Oswalt (Would fit right in with the previous performers and would act well as a comedy headliner of sorts.) - Paul F. Tompkins (One of the best in the biz. I'm honestly not sure if he would be open to performing at a music festival tho.) - Nick Kroll (Could perform standup or as one of his charcters such as Bobby Bottleservice. Would fit the "young up and comer" card like Aziz did last year.) - Rob Huebel & Paul Scheer (Although I think it's unlikely Aziz will return, his Human Giant counterparts perform together often and would easily fit the Whitest Kids U Know bill of sketch/improv performers with a TV show.) - Jen Kirkman (There were two funny female comedians last year. Kirkman would easily fit in. I'd be open for Maria Bamford returning tho.) - Doug Benson &/or Brian Posehn (Both fairly visable/established and I feel like "pothead humor" would be more than welcomed at Sasquatch.) - Jon Lajoie &/or Dragon Boy Suede (Seems likely that they'll have a musical comedy act.) - Andy Kindler (Under appreciated seasoned veteran.) - Brent Weinbach (Would fit the surreal/crazy bill of Tim & Eric. This is more of a personal wish tho. I'm not sure he has a big enough draw to make it to Sasquatch.)
Unlikely - Zach Galifiankis (Had a huge spike in popularity in 2009 due to The Hangover. Has been busy with acting and doing less touring. Plus he played last year.) - Louis CK (Would be amazing but he may be too big of a name for Sasquatch to book and he seems to only perform theatre shows nowadays.) - Aziz Ansari (Same reasoning as Zach, just to a lesser extent. Has been busy with acting, doing less touring and was at Sasquatch in 2009.)

Nice list.
What about Arj Barker or any of the Daily show guys.
The comedy tent had some pretty good acts last year and it was a nice place to chill for when there were dead spots in the music. Sucks I missed out on Galifiankis, but I did get to see Aziz. The girl that replaced Demitri Martin - Natasha Leggero - was pretty damn funny. It was a nice surprise. She got clowned in a dance off at the end of her show though, which was hilarious.

Bring back the Red Wine Boys!
...and then Dan Deacon when the lights go out.

I saw Eugene Mirman and David Cross at Bumbershoot last year and would love to see them again. Also I'd have to agree with any of the Daily Show guys too (Wyatt Cenac was sweet at Bumbershoot as well).

Daniel Tosh, Jim Gaffigan and Patton Oswalt would be awesome.

And I think that, though Aziz would be unlikely, he's definitely quite to the popularity level to quite count out. I can definitely see him "headlining" the comedy tent for a day. I feel he's probably at about the Demetri Martin level now (correct me if I'm wrong), and he was going to headline last year. Speaking of that, maybe Demetri will come back this year to make up for last year, and also, anybody know why he cancelled?

And while we're speaking of Arj Barker and Eugene Mirman. Both Kristen Schaal and Rhys Darby would be great sets as well. But man, even if the comedy tent just involved Eugene Mirman and Patton Oswalt, I'll buy the tickets. However, the ultimate Sasquatch comedy dream for me is if they got The State to reunite again and do a show (which is definitely possible, last January they reunited, did a performance, a Q&A, and screened Wet Hot American Summer). Damn, I'm officially adding The State to the rumor mill.

I loved when Aziz hosted but he got booed haha. His Next joke still makes me laugh when I heard it on his album.
As much as I love seeing comedy, but I always take seeing bands over them though. TV on the Radio played during Zach Galifianakis last year. Eugene Mirman was on during Rodrigo y Gabriela in 08, I went to Eugene and he stared at my brother and I a lot during his set cause we kinda freaked out when we met him.
I don't see comedy......ever. It NEVER comes here, so I kind of love Sasquatch for getting it so I can see comedians I otherwise never can.

Powerman 5000 begins their west coast tour the day after Sasquatch, and would be perfect for the comedy tent. I could dig on kicking back in the shade, sharing a couple giggles with friends and strangers, with the occasional laugh out loud.

I would get a ticket solely for The Lonely Island. But I don't remember when SNL season ends.
