Judgment Day
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!

Worldwide High Tic Tac Toe Championship
Think you’ve mastered tic-tac-toe? Prove it.
The Worldwide Tic-Tac-Toe Championship is a chaotic mash-up of live comedy and competitive gaming, hosted by the one and only King Supernuts. Comics hit the stage while brave challengers face off in high-stakes tic-tac-toe battles projected live for the crowd.
Expect stand-up sets, ridiculous strategies, audience participation, and the eternal question: can a simple children’s game become the most intense competition of the night?
Whether you’re here to laugh, compete, or finally settle the debate about who actually knows how to win tic-tac-toe, this is part comedy show, part gaming event, and completely unhinged fun.

Drunk Black History
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.
★★★★ “One of our favorite comedy shows out there” —TimeOut NY
★★★★ “Drink some cocktails while you get an education... at this popular show!” —The Infatuation
★★★★ “Keeping our food and drinks down was hard because of all the laughing...” —1202 Magazine
★★★★ “A hilariously high history lesson!” —AMNY
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.
