City Cast Austin Is Austin the New Comedy Capital?
Austinites can now take improv classes from the Upright Citizens Brigade, further solidifying our fair city’s spot as one of the country’s funniest cities (at least if you ask us). While we once had only a handful of choices for venues to make us laugh out loud, Austin is now home to dozens of comedy clubs, including Joe Rogan’s Comedy Mothership. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by local comedian Izzy Burger, who hosts Ladies Night at the Velveeta Room; and Dave Buckman of ColdTowne Theater to dig into what makes Austinites so funny, where to get started if you think you’re funny, and what the New York Times got wrong about The Creek and The Cave’s move down here during the pandemic.
