    Billy Wayne Davis

    The Nashville native has been tearing up the comedy scene at festivals, clubs, and all over your TV set – making audiences laugh so riotously they forget, briefly, that, hey, don't many serial killers have the middle name of Wayne? And what kind of lame-ass name is "Wayne," anyway? Means, what, wagon-wheel? But never mind that, FFS, just get your tickets for this weekend's show – especially because that Lisa Friedrich is opening.
    Dec. 1-2. Fri., 11pm; Sat., 9 & 11pm

    It's … subterranean!

    It's that underground space Downtown, swarming with improvisers and stand-up comics and sketch artists and sexual misconduct allegations. Monday nights feature Fuck This Week, wherein your moans, groans, gripes, and complaints are turned into comedy gold. They let Rob Gagnon do his Sandbox thing on Tuesdays at 9pm, Wednesdays get some work done in the Garage, Thursday brings that twisted look at dating apps – Fuck. Marry. Kill. – and Friday returns you to the Stoned vs. Drunk vs. Sober shenanigans. Saturday, there's the Megaphone Show, and – ah, see website for details.

    Top Comedy Spot on Airport

    Yes, there's Sugar Water Purple on Wednesday nights. And this Thursday features Friends For Now, a daring supergroup of improv, and then the sketch shenanigans of Pendulum.

Then there's Saturday, with the Dave Buckman-directed Roast of St. Nick and the love-stinks larking of Missed Connections ATX, followed by a gathering of that mysterio-hilarious Midnight Society.
