Melissa Villaseñor
Okay, first Latina cast member of Saturday Night Live? Check. Incredibly versatile imitation toolbox that includes a stellar Shakira and an awesome Owen Wilson? Double check! But for this writer, the real sauce comedian Melissa Villaseñor possesses is in her extensive voice-acting résumé. She’s got serious animation heavy hitter cred, having given voice to one head of the quad-faced interdimensional being Grob on Adventure Time as well as playing speaking strawberry fashion icon Drude on O.K. K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes. She checks all the boxes, so why don’t YOU check your WALLET for the $24 plus bucks a ticket to her three-day headline show will cost ya. – James ScottNov. 7-9 -

BIPOC Improv Celebration
Yeah, okay, there’s the big ol’ comedy compost pile Downtown that keeps certain not-so-funny guys on retainer, but there’s better places to get your laughs. Consider, instead, homegrown venue the Hideout – which also has pretty good coffee! November marks a full month of shows highlighting Austin’s bench of all-star BIPOC improvisers at the coffeehouse/comedy stage, along with a sprinkling of out-of-town talent. From long-running & awarded showcases like Y’all We Asian to Hispanic Heritage Month horror hit My Killer Quinceañera, there’s plenty to fill up your comedy schedule. But wait! There’s more: special guests John Gebretatose and Stephanie Rae, BIPOC jams seshs, photo booths, and karaoke. – James ScottThroughout November -

Come @ Me: Improv Comedy Inspired by Your Instagram
Why are there so many different social media apps you have to be on? And where are my slippers? Are you my grandson?

If you can’t laugh at yourself, you won’t make it far in this world! So come be the butt of the joke at this weekly show created by Isaac Garza, Amy Knop, and Kyle Irion, and starring Natalie O’Sullivan Hamilton, Juese Cutler, Sunny Huang, Xander Noland, Lisa Jackson, Colton Matocha, Jenn Rosario, Kevin Anderson, Jamie Meeks, and special guests, who will all endeavor to finally use social media for something good. – Kat McNevinsSaturdays -
