The Roast of Harry Potter
Welcome to Platform 9¾: Ya Filthy Mudblood
Wizards, witches, and wayward Muggles, mind the gap as you pass into a realm where laughter is the most powerful magic of all. Forget the Ministry’s rules and Dumbledore’s wisdom, and laugh along as we incedio the most famous wizard in history with our Roast Harry Potter.
This is no ordinary comedy show, in an evening of hilarious incantation so powerful, you’ll think your sides are splitting from a cruciatus curse. We’ll kick off the show with a REAL MAGIC SHOW and then 6 of Austin’s most magical comics will don their robes, raise their wands, and roast one another as enchanted characters from the Wizarding World.
Comics will Avada Kedavra, you’ll giggle water, and The Boy Who Lived will wish he hadn’t. Take a trip on the Hogwarts Express this Turkey Day, because the Goblet of Fire has called Harry Potter to a trial he won’t walk away from.
Beware! Enchanted seats vanish faster than a golden Snitch!
Secure your ticket today before it apparates.
Mischief managed.

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.
