Good Session

SEE all Showtimes

Got a secret? A burning question? Need some unfiltered advice? This is the show where you can get it all off your chest 100% anonymously!

Welcome to Good Session - Comedy with a side of therapy.

Life’s tough, we get it. And sometimes, the only thing better than laughing about it is laughing with others who totally get it too.

Hosted by the hilarious Brent Gill and a panel of three comedians, this show is part therapy, part comedy, and all about real talk with big laughs. Share what’s on your mind, then sit back, and watch the comedians dive in headfirst (or sideways!) to give their hilarious take. This is a show about you and is guaranteed to be way more fun than therapy!

Submit your questions here (along with the day you're attending the show) for a better chance to get them answered! https://forms.gle/TSyKAaJeKHhx1vuy8

Last minute plans are some of the best. Free last minute plans are even better. The list of free things to do in Austin felt a little short, so we’ve been steadily adding new weekly shows to our calendar that cost nothing, zilch, nada. Free. The city might be expensive, but the comedy doesn’t have to be.

There aren’t a lot of Austin comedy clubs that have free weekly shows hosting some of the biggest names in stand-up. If you just paid rent and still wanna make date night memorable, swing by The Creek for one of our many free shows.
