Comedy Shows in Austin
Comedy in Austin runs most nights of the week across the Red River Cultural District, Rainey Street and East Austin — stand-up bills, improv, open mics and work-in-progress sets from touring acts. Rooms are small, so tickets move quickly.
Updated August 17, 2026
Comedy is Austin's reliable weeknight option. Bills around the Red River Cultural District and Rainey Street change constantly — mixed stand-up nights, improv teams, open mics where the running order is decided on the night, and work-in-progress shows where touring comics test material before a tour. Rooms are deliberately small, which is what makes them good and also what makes them sell out.
