Ask Me Anything
Bridget Phetasy and Arielle Isaac Norman host a comedy night that’s part stand-up, part live AMA. They bring in local comedians, some well-known names, and the occasional surprise guest to test fresh material before they bravely (or foolishly) open the floor to audience questions.
It’s a mix of planned laughs and off-the-cuff moments that keep it unpredictable.
Picture a crowd sipping blueberry basil lemonade and vodka, tossing out quirky, personal curveballs like: "What’s the strangest dream you’ve had lately?" or "If your fridge could talk, what would it call you out on?" Sometimes it’s, "What’s the weirdest thing you’ve googled at 3 a.m. after a gig?"

Feature Me
More than 15 comics will be performing in hopes of getting passed at The Creek and The Cave. These comics are hand picked by staff members to showcase in front of Rebecca The Booker. I’m betting a lot of comics are wishing they’d tipped better.
$5 Tickets / 5 Minute Sets / 15 Comics
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.
