Just For Laughs: A Taste of Andy Kindler’s State of the Industry Address

I’m planning a larger recap of the scathing speech Andy Kindler delivered at this year’s Just For Laughs Festival. But for a taste, here’s a video posted by MySpace of the event. Somewhat ironically, I think it gives Kindler a little material for next year’s speech, as much of the video is the very funny “red carpet” bits featuring Greg Fitzsimmons before and after the speech. But I should say Kindler has the best moment in the clip, falling at the very end - a perfect little after-the-spotlight moment.
