Chuco Town Comedy Festival - September 20-21, 2024

Guz Buzz was born and raised in El Paso, but spent ten years liv­ing in Austin while attend­ing UT Austin for a film degree. Dur­ing that time, he became very involved in the Austin com­e­dy scene and loved every­thing it had to offer. As a stu­dent of the Austin scene, he brought what he learned back home and began con­tribut­ing his vision to the El Paso com­e­dy scene.

Much in the same way the Austin com­e­dy scene has explod­ed over the last 4 years, so too has the El Paso com­e­dy scene. New clubs, new shows, new ener­gy began to reshape com­e­dy in Texas’ far west bor­der town. El Paso is per­fect­ly primed to bring big name comics to the city because of its prime loca­tion as a stop between New Orleans, Austin, or Hous­ton to Albu­querque, Phoenix, Vegas, and Los Angeles. 

These ingre­di­ents cre­at­ed the right envi­ron­ment for Buzz to launch the first Chu­co Town Com­e­dy Fes­ti­val this com­ing week­end. With head­lin­ers Andrew Young­blood, Enrique Cha­con, and Irma Ruiz serv­ing as the anchors, the rest of the fes­ti­val fea­tures over 50 comics per­form­ing Roast Bat­tles, Karaōke, mag­ic, and over 30 oth­er shows to take in.
