Pete Lee was the first standup comedian to get a standing ovation on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. This happened after Jimmy personally attended one of Pete’s live shows in NYC and immediately invited him on the show. Pete’s joyful humor comes from his Midwestern roots. Raised in Janesville, WI by divorced parents and a 19-inch television, he was destined to pursue a career in entertainment. In 2005, Pete flew to New York to make his television debut on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, and the taping went so well that he decided to move to NYC. Soon after moving to NYC, he was selected to perform at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, where he was voted a standout performer. In 2008 Pete made his network television debut performing on NBC’s Last Comic Standing finishing as a semi-finalist. That same year, he made his television acting debut on the CBS Soap Opera As The World Turns. At the end of 2008, he shot his own Comedy Central Half Hour Special, which earned him a cult following at comedy clubs, and the opportunity to perform over the next ten years at 500 colleges across the country. 
 
In 2010 Pete began producing and editing his own shows for the Internet which led to getting his own web show on MSN.com called New York Minute:30. His web shows attracted the attention of television talent scouts and in 2012 he was hired to be a writer and cast member on FUSE TV’s Video on Trial and the NFL Network’s Top 10’s. In 2013, Pete was hired as a cast member on VH1’s Best Week Ever, where he was a writer and cast member for three seasons. That same year, he made his late night television debut on CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman. 
 
Currently, Pete is a cast member of TruTV’s Greatest Ever and he hosts his own segment on Nickelodeon’s Nick Toons, in co-ordination with the NFL, called NFL Rush. He’s also a regular on TruTV’s Comedy Knockout and Comedy Central’s Roast Battle. And he starred in a documentary titled I Need You to Kill that is now available on iTunes and Amazon.
 
If you haven’t heard of Pete Lee yet, prepare to tell other people.

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! 

Every Monday at 10pm come see the best comedians in the world try new jokes!

Hosted by the best comedian you’ve never heard of, Sam Hunter!
