Now that we’ve returned from the madness that is SXSW, we’re able to come up for air from a week of laughing our butts off the great comedy the festival has to offer. On Tuesday night we wrapped our show with standing-room-only comedy show with some seriously funny comedy delivered by Erik Grffin, Matt Braunger, Erin Foley, Ian Edwards, and Amy Miller. In addition to the announced lineup we had a guest drop in from the one and only Kathy Griffin! She was in town to promote her new movie and decided to treat the Austin audience to an impromptu stand-up comedy set where she literally riffed for 15 minutes about the news of the day which just so happened to be the news of Operation Varsity Blues (aka the celebrity college scandal). Thanks to our production partners at Gotham Comedy Club, SXSW Comedy’s programmers, Esther’s Follies for having a great room for comedy, and All Things Comedy and Laugh Lounge for sponsoring the fun!
