Moontower Comedy Festival
Ahhhhhhh, HAHAHAHAHA!Yes, the most anticipated comedy event of the entire year, especially this entire fucked-up year, returns to Austin. To hell with all the Zooming and the virtual camaraderie, this is human hilarity the way it's meant to be experienced. Featuring international headliners and local superstars and – well, as the official hype has it, "four days, 100-plus comedians, ten ATX venues, stand-up sets, podcasts, parties, and so much more." Exclamation point, baby.For instance: Leanne Morgan (Thu., Sept. 23, 7pm), Bobcat Goldthwait (Thu., Sept. 23, 9pm), Dave Attell (Thu., Sept. 23, 9:30pm), Margaret Cho (Fri., Sept. 24, 9:30pm), Maria Bamford (Thu., Sept. 23, 9:30pm; Fri., Sept. 24, 7pm), Dudley & Bob with Matt (Sat., Sept. 25, 4pm), Girls Gotta Eat (Sat., Sept. 25, 7 & 9pm). The list goes on and on – which is why we have an internet, right? And how about a Chronicle interview with Akaash Singh and Paul Varghese – which is why we have reporters, right?And, yeah, ten venues – the Velv, Antone's, Parker Jazz Club, the Parish, the Green Jay, the Creek & the Cave, and more – but the epicenter of this annual (when possible) laughalicious cataclysm is Downtown's majestic Paramount and Stateside Theatres. Right there, smack dab in the midst of everything, live and in-person.Serving suggestion: Get you some tickets ASAP, have yourself a ridiculously good time, and, ah, watch out for those Delta variants, mmmkay?Thu.-Sat., Sept. 22-25. Prices vary, badges run $99-1000. -

Christian-Green Gallery: The Black Index
The artists featured in this show — Dennis Delgado, Alicia Henry, Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle, Titus Kaphar, Whitfield Lovell, and Lava Thomas — build upon the tradition of Black self-representation as an antidote to colonialist images. Using drawing, performance, printmaking, sculpture, and digital technology to transform the recorded image, these artists question our reliance on photography as a privileged source for documentary objectivity and understanding.Through Dec. 11.

Cloud Tree: Of the Land
This exhibition explores clay in its varied states, from mud, to raw, to the fired state that turns clay into ceramics. This exhibition features work by Alejandra Almuelle, in which the acclaimed sculptor uses fresh clay to create an installation formed by hand – to contrast with a wall piece consisting of a series of discs harvested unaltered from local clay sediment. "These two installations with a series of cephalic vessels present the human presence, not as a protagonist of landscape, but as a commentary on the body as place and receptacle of memory, like the land itself."Closing reception: Fri., Oct. 1, 5-9pm
