Oh he-he, haw-haw: We’re all in a laughing mood these days, aren’t we, folks? Where better to let out the big guffaws than this exclusively queer comic competition produced by the folks behind Austin’s only queer comedy open mic, Tongue in Cheek. This Thursday, witness 10 finalists – Kat Ellison Williams, Moe Christine, Freya Fredrichs, Ellie DeCaprio, Mattie Yapp, May Buzzetti, Andrew Horneman, Lina Green, and Jose Da’Hype – go head-to-head for the title of Cheekiest Comic. Winner gets not only a cash prize but also a featured booking at New Orlean’s LGBTLOL Queer Comedy Fest. Comedian Ivy Le hosts and local comics/bookers Aira Juliet, Holly Hart, and Ryan Rogers post up at the judges’ table. – James Scott
