Austin Sketch Fest: Astronaut Theatre and Stag Comedy

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.

Hi. We’re Astronaut Theatre. Once upon a time we lived in the lap of Boston luxury as college students, but that was a long time ago and we need to get over it and move on. No really, guys, get OVER IT. We’re adults now and we do sketch comedy as funny as we can, using all of our brain parts. Such as: Brain Part 1 (We are not licensed Astronauts… yet), Brain Part 2 (Songs make sex education more fun), or Brain Part 3 (Even muggers have dreams). And that’s just 3 of them!

Cast: George Apfelbach, Caitlin Fitzgibbons, George Jasinski, Sean Kane, Bri LeRose, Hanh-Tien Tran, Kendall Mayhew, KK Apple, Jim Gordon

Stag Comedy is an Austin-based premiere sketch comedy group. Their high-energy live show brings together their love of dumb people, dumb problems, and smart writing. Stag is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and frowns to the faces of your many enemies who are plotting against you as you read this. They recently performed at SXSW and got signed as an… alt country band? Are you serious? That’s still a thing? UGH.

Cast: Joe Parsons, Mac Blake, David Jara, Ximena Estrada, Dave Youmans, and Andrew Rosas.
