Tuesday Night Laughs
PUNCH! video preview: Comedy's stellar Tuesday night lineup
We recently wrote about several of Austin's most consistently awesome stand up showcases, highlighting Cap City's weekly PUNCH! in particular. Hosted by Matt Bearden, the Tuesday night show features a curated lineup of local performers; we're especially excited about this week's roster, which includes the first and second place winners of the 2011 Funniest Person in Austin contest, a member of the city's most successful sketch group and two of the fastest rising local comics.
Check out some clips from the performers, and pick up a ticket early—we guarantee the show will sell out.
Andy Ritchie
Winner of the 2011 Funniest Person in Austin contest, Richie recently released his debut album "King Ding-A-Ling," on Stand Up! Records.
Mac Blake
Co-host of KOOP's Mascot Wedding podcast and a member of sketch group Stag Comedy, which just completed a sold out run of their show "The Sweaty Meringue" at the Alamo Drafthouse.
Ryan Cownie
This Nebraska native has been touring since high school, honing his deadpan delivery and uncanny ability to make even the most absurd premise seem totally straight.
Chris Cubas
An FPIA finalist for the past two years (placing second this past spring), Cubas performs with the Altercation Punk Comedy Tour (and also won the The Onion's 2009 Club Fame Whores competition).
Also on the bill: Kath Barbadoro, who will be hosting The Velveeta Room every Thursday in August.
PUNCH! starts at 8 pm and always sells out — grab a ticket online or call Cap City Comedy at (512) 467-2333.
