Congress Avenue’s brightest theatre will struggle to contain the bombastic personality set to take the stage this night: Kathy Griffin, patron saint of D-list celebrities, Anderson Cooper NYE co-host, and onetime traumatizer of Barron Trump. Honestly though, isn’t having Barron as his first name trauma enough? In any case, the record-holder for most televised stand-up specials brings her new show, My Life on the PTSD-List, to Moontower Comedy Festival. You’ll laugh; you’ll gasp; and you’ll enjoy yourself a whole heck of a lot – just like me and my mom did watching Griffin on Bravo in the 2000s. Memories, sweet memories. – James Scott

Yowch! That’s what you’d be saying, you know, if you touched your tootsies to a lava-flooded floor. Thankfully, Austin is not located next to an active volcano … or is it? This scripted comedy sketch show is a fresh flow of bright burning comic talent sure to scorch expectations with “fun, loose, and experimental” material. Don’t believe me? Read this totally real quote from the comedy show’s Instagram bio: My ‘comedies’ are complete *poop emoji* compared to the greatest sketch group to ever sketch! –William Shakespeare. I can’t believe ol’ Willy really said that! But no one has ever lied on Instagram before, so best believe this show’s hot stuff. – James Scott
