After closing its doors in March 2020 thanks to — you guessed it — pandemic woes, one of Austin's legendary comedy clubs is back, baby, and in a brand new location.
Previously located on Research Boulevard, Cap City Comedy Club served Austin with laughs for over three decades before shuttering. Here's hoping its new outpost at the Domain will revive that legacy for years to come.
In an earlier announcement on its website, the club shared its goal to "continue our tradition of booking national acts, Austin-based comedians, and cutting-edge up-and-comers" at the new location.
Putting the "better than ever" in the classic comeback story, the new spot is bigger than before. Featuring two showrooms for standup shows, one will be for national touring acts, while the other will showcase Austin’s local comedians to help foster the city's growing comedy scene.
The announcement also mentions "eclectic" food and beverage menus and a "jam-packed schedule of local and original programming." "We are excited to welcome you to our new location for more laughs this Winter," says the club.
Comedy fans can find the new club next to the Museum of Ice Cream behind Kendra Scott. Cap City Comedy will be open Monday to Thursday from 10 am to 8 pm; Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 9 pm; and Sunday from 12 pm to 6 pm. The best parking will be in the Domain's pink garage, with a map available here.
