Why so serious? From April 22-25, you can come downtown and put a smile on your face at the Moontower Comedy and Oddity Fest. Sponsored by Paramount Theatre, the Moontower Fest brings to downtown Austin some of the most renowned comics from all around the country – doing everything from stand-up to improv to sketches and even musical comedy.

Among the hundreds of comedians assembling for the festival, some of the most notable names are Patton Oswalt, TJ Miller, John Mulaney, Mark Maron and Wanda Sykes. Also in attendance are Texas natives Ron White, Margo Rey and Brendon Walsh.

“The comics attending the festival are really cool and innovative comedians,” senior Chris Vanegas said. “It’ll be a laugh riot for sure.”

Venues for the Moontower Fest comedy shows will be all throughout downtown Austin, including such places as Paramount Theatre, Cap City Comedy Club and The Speakeasy. For more information about prices and tickets, visit
