The festival closes out with a 4-day comedy binge April 17-20 where comics you know and emerging comics you may not along with several talented Austin-based comedians including Avery Moore, Bryson Brown, Casey Rocket, Danny Goodwin, Kam Patterson, Mac Blake, Sam Lopez will be performing at clubs throughout the city at venues that usually include Cap City Comedy Club, Antone’s The Creek and the Cave and Fallout Theatre among them.
Club Badges are available for the four days of comedy club shows starting at $150 for access to all club shows as well as access to buy pre-sale tickets to headlining shows. They go up to $1250, which gets you front row at every show and 96-hour pre-sale access to buy tickets for the headliner shows. Don’t sleep on the more intimate shows, some of the funniest comics are the ones you don’t know about yet who will perform at a show you may not have planned to see. This festival is a great opportunity to step out of your comedy comfort zone.
There will also be live podcasts, sketch comedy and a screening of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off hosted by Alan Ruck, who in addition to starring in the acclaimed film most recently was on HBO’s Succession.
