The critically acclaimed “Drunk Black History” show returns to Austin to share more Black History stories!
Comedian Brandon Collins (New York Comedy Festival) hosts this event where you’ll hear from comedians, writers, and experts who are skunked out of their mind trying to recap the biography of a historical Black figure or event that hasn’t gotten the mainstream love they deserved.  It's The Daily Show meets Drunk History with a live audience.

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

 Judgment day is an interactive comedy show where Comics will share a confession that they are willing to riff about on stage. The show will be hosted and “judged” by two Black Comics Jemischa and Genivive, leaning into the stereotype of Black women being unapologetically judgy. Audience members will also get to vote on which confession was the most hilarious or most unforgivable! Join us at the Creek and the Cave for the boldest comedy show in town!
