My husband and I have been trying out a lot of comedy shows lately, including a bunch of free ones,…read moreand honestly... a lot of them were giant turds. East Austin Comedy was the complete opposite. Every single comedian was genuinely funny, the crowd energy was great, and the whole night felt well put together. The show is BYOB, which made it even more fun and affordable, and tickets were only around $20 per person. Totally worth it. We laughed the entire night and actually enjoyed every comic, which almost never happens. If you're looking for a really solid comedy night in Austin, definitely check them out.

I went on a wednesday at 7 showing. There were maybe 15 or less. The show itself was I think less…read morethan 90 minutes and there were new comedian coming up every 10 or so minutes. I thought the show was great. It's tough out there and I can appreciate them trying to work the crowd and get something going. So you want to see something more "real", support this by coming out.

Came with a friend to watch stand up late last month and this did not disappoint…read more Ambiance: A bit dark inside after going through security. There's a store to purchase some merch at. My friend picked up a cool hoodie, albeit expensive. There are two rooms for the comedy. Service: Very thorough and professional with getting in - security, locked up phones (you take them with you and you get the bag unlocked after before you fully exit), taking you to your seats. Service was friendly by all and responsive. Two drinks minimum for any show. Drinks were well made. Prices are to the times. We had a show in the Little Boy room and it was decently sized, not stuffy. General admission only and I'm not sure if you get to pick and choose where to sit but we were sat at the very front. It seemed like a sold out show. All the comics were great in their own ways. Very funny material and to the times, just don't get offended about anything (some material especially from Brian Holtzman can be harsh).

Black rabbit, underground comedy club is a must visit in Austin, Texas! They have new lineups every…read morenight and their tickets are fairly priced. The comedy club is located in the basement so it is nice and cold. We were greeted immediately at the front door and shown to our seat seats. This facility is BYOB and there is conveniently a liquor store right next-door that you can buy drinks to bring to the show. I really enjoyed the comics that performed last night. There was a good mixture of subjects and types of humor. The crowd is intimate and the comics engaged with the crowd in a fun way. This is definitely a comedy club. I will return to and I wanna make sure everyone is aware it is there so we can support them!

There was a group on the patio area where you can order tacos, I did not partake. Then the bar area inside. You can take drinks into the showroom as well. Scoped out the venue which was bigger than anticipated and really enjoyed the fish tank TVs. So fun! The show was entertaining and up to date with references all relevant to the current times. Everyone on stage was great and their chemistry can be seen. The audience was laughing 99% of the time and the show went back fast! I'd totally go back for a local Austin night out with good laughs.

Esther Follies is an Austin staple!…read more They've been performing for 50 years, providing amazing entertainment for all guests attending their shows. They do a mix of comedy, magic, music , and just overall great entrainment for their shows. It's mainly themed around local and world politics + the LGBTQ community. Tickets are approximately $40. The show is about 90 minutes, with a 5 min break halfway through. They have a bar on site, and a taqueria that's connected to their building as well. Highly recommend the taqueria, it's authentic and delicious! Absolutely recommend for locals, visitors, and those who just want to enjoy a great show in the best city in the country!

Ummmmm! The reverence I have for Coldtowne is unprecedented…read more.. I've been asked my whole life if I'm a comedienne... and thanks to Coldtowne, i can say I dabble. I've been taking improv classes here for the last year! And it's been the most fun to be playing make believe with grown ups! 10/10 recommend the classes. Coldtowne has a vibrant community from all walks of life and everyone is truly welcome here, just as they are. An inclusive space full of every flavor of weirdo (myself included) and I am HERE FOR IT Shows Thurs-Sundays, free jams, and there's stand up and workshops and classes. You can grab drinks or snacks at the bar. Shows are $10-30 (bargain) to see local and big act comedy. Coldtowne is actually HOT SHIT. Lvoe this space. Trust.

Security decided to single me out…read more Despite empty pockets and arriving in a group, I get pulled aside and patted down MULTIPLE times. Security guard makes a really dumb statement as he touches my leg-- "hmm did you have surgery recently?" WTF? Bro get your fuggin hand off my leg you creep. Not okay. Then we get seated. 2 drink minimum. Wait staff was rude. I had the light on to call the server...no one came. I waved down a server who was helping a group directly in front of me...she snarkily said I have to leave my light on and that MY server would come to take my order. My server never came back except to hand me the closing check. I try to explain to her that I never got my second drink. She said oh well, last call passed (which she never told me). I ask for a receipt and she doesn't give it. I leave no tip. My charge was about 18.50. I look at my card statement the next day and it was rounded up to $20. What's so funny about this...after I told her the situation about the drink and we had no resolution...she literally went to the group on the left of me, and brought the guy a drink that he never received either! I thought the bar was closed??? Where is my drink??? Terrible. As for the comedy. They sucked. From the opener doing some lame "Robert De Niro" impression, to Brian Simpson (a pro). The jokes were not funny in the slightest. The audience didn't really laugh either. Overall, this was my 2nd time here and the negative experience is too much to look over. 2 stars.
