Moontower Comedy Festival Is Happening This Year and Just Made Their First Line-Up Announcement

OK, are fingers are crossed (and vaccinated) that this time, this edition of the Moontower Comedy Festival is going to stick. They’ve had to reschedule it more than once throughout the pandemic as the prospect of big time gatherings, especially ones that are indoors seem like a distant dream only a few months ago.

That dream seems to be getting closer to reality with the vaccine rollout pushing forward in the U.S. There are better prospects of things like comedy festivals, such as Moontower in Austin, TX, to happen in full force again. Currently, they’re scheduled the festivities for Sept. 22nd-25th, 2021 and, just like they used to do in the before times, have an already massive line-up in their first announcement including Margaret Cho, Dave Attell, Maria Bamford, The Goddamn Comedy Jam, Endless Honeymoon, and so much more.

Do note that Texas does have one of the lowest percentages of COVID-19 vaccination in the country and we sincerely hope it gets way better by the time September rolls around. If you’re game for comedy festivals in just a few months, you best go get your passes/badges right here right now.

Round 1 is here! ? 100+ comedians are invading downtown Austin Sept 22nd-25th to celebrate the 10th year of the Moontower Comedy Festival! Stand-up, podcasts, parties, shows, surprises & more wrapped up into for 4 days of funny ? Badges on sale now: https://t.co/LM5GmRJOyZ pic.twitter.com/apOTPooQvi

The Creek & The Cave to Reopen in Austin After Closing in NYC

February 12, 2021

News

atx, austin, creek and cave

While comedy clubs/venues around the country have been closing, Austin, being one of the biggest comedy scenes in America that is actively doing in-person shows during the pandemic, seems to be gaining clubs left and right.

Yesterday, we reported to you that Cap City Comedy Club reversed its announcement that they were closing their doors for good and will reopen in October. It turns out that they will be getting another club as NYC’s beloved venue The Creek & The Cave is moving down to Austin, TX. They had to close their doors due to the persistent lockdown for performance venues in NYC after over a decade of faithfully serving the NYC comedy scene from open mikers all the way to Colin Quinn (he workshopped a whole special there).

Since live comedy is currently happening in Austin, Creek & Cave founder Rebecca Trent has taken that opportunity to given The Creek & The Cave a second life down there as well as growing the ATX comedy scene even bigger than it already is. As of April Fools’ Day this year, their doors will open. You can follow for more updates @creekandcaveatx on Instagram.

Moontower Comedy Festival Rescheduled for Sept. 16th-19th

March 25, 2020

atx, austin, comedy festival, moontower, texas

Large gatherings/events of all kinds all over the world in March and April got cancelled and postponed due to COVID-19. Even this year’s Summer Olympics in Tokyo might get pushed back. Certainly, live comedy has had to take a pause right along with the rest of the world.

Inevitably, the postponements will get followed up by rescheduling (which we ought to note might be subject to change as everything currently is). Still, it’s hopeful to hear that Austin’s big time annual comedy shindig, The Moontower Comedy Festival is, for now, set to return Wed. Sept. 16th- Sat. Sept. 19th. Hopefully, by then (even before then would be better), there will be some relative return to normalcy and going out and gathering with folks will be allowed again.

Line-up, tickets, and specifics have yet to be announced, but we will absolutely keep you updated.
