Shhhh. Listen closely. Can you hear it? It’s the hoards of visiting hipsters departing Austin’s neighborhoods. Now that we’ve all survived SXSW, it’s time to enjoy our city on our terms again. Sure, live music may be off the table for a bit, but there’s plenty to partake in that doesn’t involve standing around. Here’s our weekly guide to keep you busy during the days that don’t start with S.

Punch! Comedy Presents: Cringetacular v 4.0 @ Cap City Comedy Club

Girlie Night Presents: Bring it On @ Alamo Ritz

No need to bring your A-game to this one, it’s already there. Seriously, though, who doesn’t love a tale of teenage cheerleaders that brings us a glimpse of a pre-pretentious Kirsten Dunst?
