Armando Anto was a violin prodigy trained at the French National Conservatory… but somewhere along the way, something snapped.
Now he fuses haunting melodies with razor-edged comedy — dark, daring, and dangerously funny.
His act has echoed from Paris to New York, Iran to Texas — proving that music and political madness need no translation.
Prepare for a night where elegance meets chaos… and no topic is off-limits. 

FREE! Every Thursday at Midnight

Comedy Accelerator Workshop at Creek & The Cave

Free Weekly Comedy Development Workshop
Every Sunday • Doors at 3:00 • Workshop 3:30–5:00 PM

Free workshop dedicated to helping standups and comedy writers transition into full-on pros, develop new material, and get work beyond Austin. 

Hosted at Creek and the Cave at 611 E. Seventh, 611 E. Seventh Austin, TX 78701.

 

Collaborative and friendly space, open to anyone, hosted by Dan French. 

What Happens Each Week

• 3:00 PM — Doors open
  Ask specific questions about the comedy industry, get career advice.

• 3:30–5:00 PM — Workshop
  Each week features a rotating theme or skill: joke structure, late-night monologue jokes, roasts, brand writing, writing for other comics, punch-up practice, topical jokes, voice, delivery, and more.

• We usually:

• learn or discuss a writing technique or format

• do guided writing exercises

• get on stage to share material

• give and receive supportive feedback and tags

It’s not a mic. It’s not a show.

It’s a development space — collaborative, fun, and fast-moving.

What You’ll Get Out of It

• new jokes every week

• stronger punchlines and structure

• practice writing in different formats
  clear insight into the business side of comedy

• how to earn money writing jokes
  a consistent weekly writing routine

• a supportive community of comedy-nerds

• A working session to map your fastest path to paid work in comedy

• Practical direction on what you do best and where it pays (standup, acting, writing, digital)

• Comics, writers, storytellers, speakers who want real income, not just stage time

• Talent with pieces in place but no clear plan to monetize

 

Who Teaches It

The workshop is led by Dan French — Emmy-nominated late-night comedy writer, standup comedian, speaker, and ex-professor. His career includes:

• staff writer for The Late Late Show, Dennis Miller, and The Best Damn Sports Show Period
  

• writer for George Lopez, Wanda Sykes, and David Letterman

• 3,000+ standup performances -- clubs, cruises, corporate, etc, etc

• Ph.D. in Rhetoric
