Austin Sketch Fest: There's Waldo! and The Hustle Show

The third annual Austin Sketch Comedy Festival is happening May 23rd to May 27th over Memorial Day weekend and will feature two headlining shows from comedian Paul F. Tompkins as well as other incredible local and national acts.

Gutsy sketch comedy powerhouse There's Waldo combines fast-paced, high energy writing and memorably pathetic, off-kilter characters. This ensemble cut its teeth on full-length revues at the Velveeta Room and the Institution Theater, including their spectacularly dark Christmas special, Human Santapede. Since 2010, they have charmed Austin audiences with their uniquely silly and twisted point of view. There's Waldo entertains with a wicked mischief that roams from smart to gleefully idiotic. And if you're nice, they just might show you the legendary Haunted Vagina. They ain't scared. And they're coming for you. 

Cast: Tyler Reece Booker, John Buseman, Amy Dietze, Christine Giordano. Erica Lies, Sara Osburn, Taylor Overstreet
