    Funniest Person In Austin

    With the return of Cap City Comedy Club comes the return of Cap City's signature annual event, in which local comics (or, in some cases, the merely aspirationally funny) take the stage night after night, battling it out with standup sets, to see who will eventually be crowned this year's Funniest Person In Austin. Right now the preliminary rounds are coming to an end – with the champion-packed night of finals finals set to rock this town on Wed., Sept. 21.
    Prelims: Tue., Sept. 6, 8pm. $10-18.

    Kid Cudi, 070 Shake, Strick

    Scott Mescudi’s generational humming could resurrect a charred garden from the ashes. Scott Mescudi’s soothing hum can launch a wretched soul into clouds of serenity. That “hmmmm” and influential 2009 debut album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day, bought the Cleveland rapper eternal goodwill among a passionate collective of twentysomethings who probably strolled through school hallways puffing out lyrics to “Day ‘n’ Nite.” Though Don Toliver pulled out of Cudi’s tour citing production/logistical challenges, GOOD Music signee 070 Shake will still provide support in the form of synth-heavy, croon-filled enchantment.
