Katie PengraAustinWatching Katie do stand up is a mix between odd storytelling and family therapy. She started comedy in 2011, but was previously involved in sketch, short films, improv, and is a regular contributor to The Encyclopedia Show Austin. Edit Troupe Info |

Ralphie HardestyAustin, TXRalphie Hardesty's stand up comedy is relatively clean and positive. Hardesty tells stories about his life, about his family, and about how poorly he fits into the labels he puts on himself (like "gay" or "XXL"). About the only time he makes anyone but himself a punchline is when Ralphie sexually harasses straight guys who wear basketball shorts in public. |

Joe HafkeyAustinJoe Hafkey's stand-up has been described as "silly", "hysterical" and "everything in between". His act blends absurd observations with probing self-deprecation for a unique and hilarious world view that you're sure to adore. Edit Troupe Info |

Chris TellezDallasHaving a conversation with comedian Christopher Tellez is like being at your very own private stand-up show. His animation is reminiscent of seeing him on stage behind a microphone on a good night, delivering laugh after laugh. Edit Troupe Info |

Howard BeecherAustin, TXHoward Beecher rocks the comedy scene with his acidic wit and outrageous rantings. He has been performing stand-up comedy for 20 years and loves to talk about the birth of his kids when he is not complaining about the Texas heat. Beecher is, in fact, a viciously funny comic who rides a Harley, creates surefire punch lines from his personal life, and gets down with audiences in a way that makes even the targets of his barbs laugh hysterically. It's always a raucous good time when Beecher hits the stage. He can read a crowd and knows exactly which buttons to push for maximum hilarity. |

Brendan K. O'GradyAustin, TexasSince emerging from the vibrant Austin comedy scene, Brendan K. O'Grady has been entertaining audiences with the presence and skill of a comic seasoned well beyond his years at the microphone. A native of Southern California, Brendan started out behind the scenes, grinding out jokes as a professional comedy writer before the lure of the spotlight finally brought him out in front of the curtain and onto the stand-up stage. His smart, playfully sharp style blends frequent pop culture riffs with literate references, flights of silliness, and off-centered observations from life as a modern American thirty-something. Brendan's humor has been featured on the web by Rooftop Comedy, MySpace, and National Lampoon.com, and today he can regularly be found appearing at comedy clubs, theaters, and festivals all over Austin and elsewhere.
