Each year, the promoters of Bonnaroo continue to out do themselves when it comes to the lineup for the Bonnaroo Comedy Theatre. The stage started as a minor attraction in 2005 with Godfrey and Pete Correale providing the jokes. In 2006 the promoters aimed higher by getting bigger names like Patton Oswalt and Demetri Martin. Last year, things really took off when Lewis Black, David Cross, Finesse Mitchell and a slew of hilarious, and well-known, comics kept the crowds in stitches.

This year, festival-goers will be treated to sets by Janeane Garofalo, Zach Galifianakis, Louis C.K, Jimmy Norton and many other funny motherfuckers. But, let’s not forget that Bonnaroo ’08 marks the first time a comic will perform a set on the main stage. Chris Rock does the honors on the What Stage at 7:45 PM tomorrow night. Let’s take a look at Mr. Rock in action:

• Aziz Anzari, David Cross and Nick Kroll: You Might Be A Deadneck
• Chris Rock: Talks About Michael Jackson
