Austin Improv

It's been a while. I'd love to play!

Bump.

Dario, Bobby AND Dan? Count me in!

I'll play, if you've got room for a Maggie.

A girl who went to the show last night found me on facebook and sent me this message. Thought I'd share:

"Hey girl!
(This is random, I know--). My name is Misty and I just wanted to relay the message to y'all somehow at Maestro. Y'all were freakin hilaaaaarious last night! My fiance and I have been ...

You know what? I'd like to play.

"The Late Show with David Letterman" is searching for new talent, and they're making a special trip to Cap City to see 10 of Austin's brightest comedians bring their best stuff to the stage.

Its a free show with happy hour drink prices. It's tonight (Feb 25) from 6-7:30. Doors open at 5:30 for ...

If there's still room I'd like to play one last time with Dario before he leaves.

Since I posted this, like Katie said, I think they've gotten on their feet pretty well. I'll double check with one of their neighbours they're close with to see if there are specific items they need. Thanks everyone for your support.

I don't care about the veer, I just think this arguement/discussion got real retarded awhile back, in this and the other thread. You are preaching to the choir about funny women, I don't think anyone here is in disagrement that chromosonal differences mean nothing when it comes to funny, or capable ...

and yet Chapelle would also provide diversity. :wink:

::sigh:: You know what I mean. I simply listed Chappelle since he was one of my favourites. It would be the same if Jim Gaffigan was on the bill with Dane Cook. People don't attend comedy festivals for the diversity, they attend for the comedy ...

not familiar with the New York scene, but at every stand up show i've been to here in L.A., the ratio of men to women is incredibly balanced. and considering it's still perceived as a boy's club and they only had 10 slots, i think that behooves them all the more to say "hey, why not consider a ...

now, this specific case might just be a fluke and all the people good enough to headline just happen to be men. but women in comedy are often woefully overlooked and underrepresented BECAUSE they're women (or if they are paid attention to, it's because they have a very masculine voice and style ...

i'm not saying festivals should ignore merit or have some kind of quota or affirmative action system..."we need three female stand ups, two black improv troupes, one Latino sketch group and a transgendered mime!"...but i do think it's important to be actively mindful and aware of representing a ...

Okay, somebody have sex with PyroDan before this gets out of hand.

Don't worry, Andy, I'm sure it's going to remain in his hand.

Ba-Zing.

To answer this, I'm strictly an advocate of merit. Stand up festivals are shows that people pay for. I'd venture to say the audience doesn't care about ...
