Bottoms (2023)
Film critic and senior Chronicle staff writer Richard Whittaker once came into my under-the-stairs office, pointed at my Bottoms movie poster, and said “Oh, Bottoms. I wish you were funny.” Little did he know that such a huge wish had already been granted, as Emma Seligman’s sophomore directorial effort is filled with gut-busters in more ways than one. Specifically, two ways: One, in how your gut will bust from laughing at Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri as they create a high school fight club in order to score with hot girls; and two, in that this fight club actually busts a lotta guts through punching, kicking, and biting themselves and others. Wish Bottoms were funny? Wish granted, dude! – James ScottMon., June 9 -

Buzzkill at the Buzz Mill
Hump day just became, uh, no-slump day? Ah, sorry. I have to workshop my tight five. In the meantime, how about you enjoy some actual good comedy by attending this free show hosted by the hilarious Carlton Wilcoxson and Angelina Martin. They pull in Austin’s most engaging local talents, both emerging and headlining, to make the logs on Buzz Mill’s wall shake from thunderous laughter. “For the past 10+ years,” their event copy states, “this consistently entertaining show has earned its spot as one of the most fun things to do in Austin and with good reason: it never misses.” – James ScottEvery Wednesday -

Good Dad Studios’ Second Saturdays
Ho-hum, I hear you say. What on Earth am I to do on a second Saturday that both supports my local community and fulfills my desperate need for artistic consumption? Well, well, well: I might have a place south of Oltorf that’s got over 140 artists, small businesses, and nonprofits right in one building. This place is also open to the public every second Saturday – how convenient! – with rotating activities like live music or artmaking and a ding-dang food truck court. Oh, and this place, yes, this place called Good Dad Studios is also painted the most eye-blinding shade of magenta you can imagine so there’s literally no way you can miss it while cruising on the frontage road. Do you think, maybe, this place might solve your little second Saturday plans problem? Yeah. I thought so. – James ScottSecond Saturday of every monthGood Dad Studios, 2801 S. I-35 -

Just for Teens: Captive Creatures
What’s up teens? It’s me, your friendly neighborhood alt-weekly writer, telling you that there’s more fun to be had outside your phone than inside. After all, being addicted to social media is kinda cringe. And what’s not cringe, you ask? The real skibidi rizz is in arts & crafts. Yeah, that’s right: You wanna be cool? You gotta go make cute clay creatures at your local library! They even provide you with the clay and a glass bottle terrarium home for your creation. Who knows? Creating instead of consuming might just be your new favorite way to earn aura points. – James ScottTue., June 10 -

Comedy
Last Voyage of the Voyagers
Austin’s comedy scene is synonymous with improv, but it’s not all about the “yes, and.” Sketch comedy troupe the Voyagers goes on stage with a lot more than a wing, a prayer, and hopes that the audience has some good prompts. Promising live sketch comedy from the bottom of the barrel of their hearts, these laughs from the end times come from writer/director John Gholson, who is set to become the toast of this year’s Tribeca Festival as star of the new Austin-made horror, Man Finds Tape. But before he terrorizes the Big Apple, catch him and the rest of the Voyagers as they find humor in these dumpster fire days each Saturday night through May. – Richard WhittakerSaturdays -

Slide in the DMs
She goes by many titles, but perhaps none fit so well in the context of this comedy show as Best of Austin nominee and Slide host Angelina Martin’s self-description as the “hot jock of Austin comedy.” Martin utilizes her jockular style to lead a hilarious monologuer-centric show where local stand-ups reveal their most embarrassing DMs – both incoming and outgoing – as fodder for improvised skits. Whether you’ve been the one shooting your shot or the one trying to fend off suitors, there’s a little cringe for everyone to chuckle at in this show. – James ScottFirst Saturdays. $20; $15, advance. -
