It’s late. It’s weird. It’s Austin.

Freaks of the Creek brings the city’s wildest comics to The Creek and The Cave for an unfiltered, anything-goes late-night show. Expect chaos, big laughs, and zero rules — the kind of comedy that only makes sense after 11PM.

Grab a drink, stay up too late, and come get freaky with us.

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

Riff Mic! Hosted By Rachel Wolfson. 

GIRLS GONE WILD is a dark humor stand-up comedy show highlighting the boldest women of Austin’s thriving comedy scene. You've been warned.

Looking for a night that’s equal parts unhinged and unforgettable? GIRLS GONE WILD is a monthly stand-up comedy showcase packed with chaotic energy, twisted punchlines, and fearless fun — featuring a mostly female lineup of sharp, savage comics who aren't afraid to take it there.

Good girls go to heaven. Bad girls get a showcase.

This sho takes place at The Creek and The Cave, located at 611 E 7th St, Austin, TX 78701. Metered street parking is available nearby, but because it’s downtown Austin, we recommend arriving early or taking a rideshare. Doors open at 7:30 PM, and the show runs until 9:30 PM. Tickets are $15 online and $20 at the door. There’s no official dress code, but we encourage you to show up in whatever makes you feel sexy, unbothered, or a little unhinged.

Hosted by Destiny Lalane @destinylalane — a New York–raised, Austin-based stand-up comedian featured on LMAOF, Roast Battles, Don’t Tell Comedy, and SiriusXM Radio — GIRLS GONE WILD is her signature showcase for bold, unapologetic comedy.

No hacks. Just a good time.
