Moontower Wednesday

When the Moontower Comedy & Oddity Festival debuted last year, it wasted no time in spreading the funny. Its Wednesday schedule gave laugh-seekers 15 shows to choose from, and with the sophomore edition, Moontower will fill hump day with even more options. In addition to the double-barreled headliner shows at the Paramount Theatre – Bill Hader at 7pm, followed by new Comedy Central star Anthony Jeselnik at 9:30pm – the evening includes solo shows by Todd Barry and Marc Maron at the neighboring Stateside at the Paramount, Greg Fitzsimmons and Maria Bamford at Cap City Comedy Club, a live podcast of Pete Holmes' You Made It Weird at the Parish, Andy Kindler and Godfrey hosting back-to-back showcases at Scottish Rite Theater, and a show of blue humor at the Swan Dive, preceded by a showcase of Austin comedians. In all, 20 shows are scheduled. A full preview of the festival will appear in next week's Chronicle. For more information, visit www.moontowercomedyfestival.com.
