May Show Recommendations

Jason Rodriguez has become a staple of the Austin comedy scene since he moved from California almost five years ago. He's a regular at Moontower and is a consistently hilarious performer. He gets to headline The Velv a few times a year, so get your ticket now, you never know when Jason will be too big for us.

Maggie Maye left Austin for Los Angeles pre-pandemic, and she's been consistently building up an incredible portfolio of writing and performance credits. We don't get her back to Austin very often, so this is about as huge a bat signal as we can launch for you to go see her for her one night only appearance.

The ATX Sketch Fest officially kicks off in August, but the annual tradition to begin the buzz for the fest is the Sketch Fest Cover event. Whether you're into SNL, Key & Peele, or KITH, someone's bound to have picked one of the best sketches to recreate right here in downtown-ish Austin.

He's a household name and someone that we can introduce by one name, take your pick. The legendary comedian is here for two performances on one night. We don't know if he'll talk about nothing or everything, but we know this is a chance to watch one of the most talented comedians of our time display his command of writing and timing.

Cat Swantner holds a special place in my heart. I'm so fond of her dark comedy that I'd even be willing to hold a barf bag for her. She's launched a new storytelling show that gives airtime to comics wanting to share a moment in life when their body betrayed them.
