Mascot Wedding Weekly: Hustle Show Stand-up, MWprov, and More


The MW crew is performing pretty much constantly around Austin. We haven’t been updating every time there’s a performance but this week is too good not to mention.

Tuesday: Mac Blake on Punch
Punch is Austin’s best weekly stand-up show. Hosted by the hilarious Matt Bearden, Punch is having its Season Finale on Tuesday headlined by John Ramsey, and featuring Mac, Kerri Lendo, Brently Heilbron, Cameron Fielder, and Joe Hafkey.
8PM Cap City Comedy Club $5
NOTE: Punch always sells out, so getting advance tickets is highly recommended.

Wednesday: Mascot Wedding Improv
The MWprov team of Mac, David Jara, and Ximena Estrada take the stage for some high-energy, low-morals improv.
10PM ColdTowne Theater, “Pay what you want” BYOB.

Thursday: Hustle Up: The Hustle Show Stand-up Showcase
The cast of MW’s hit production, The Hustle Show, picks up the mic. Some of the cast are working comedians, others are borderline rookies, and still others when approached with the idea, immediately tried to flee the country. It’s gonna be a great show. Headlined by the hilarious David McQuary, hosted by Mac, and featuring David Jara, Katie Sicking, Curtis Luciani, Ashley Franks, Courtney Sevener, Scott Raney, and a special appearance by Nick Ramirez.
10PM ColdTowne Theater $5 BYOB
Tickets here

And, as always, catch up on, friend, or follow Stag for some sketch comedy action. This week there will be some new show updates. Plus, two more podcasts this week as we continue playing catch up. It looks like next month we will finally reach the point where every Monday you’ll get the previous Saturday’s show. Thrizzling!

Also, does Splitsider recommend you not miss a Stag show and that you add the Mascot Wedding Show on iTunes? Yes it does, dummy. (It’s there somewhere)

Family Tides Begins its Run Tonight + More

Out of Bounds is over and David’s show with Master Pancake is sold-out (or RSVP’d to the max), so if you’re not quite ready for some football come to ColdTowne Theater tonight at 8:30 PM for the debut of the Family Tides show. First the cast will get one family story from the audience and improvise characters based on it. Then a second story will given and interpreted. Finally in the third act the two groups of characters will meet. An all-star cast of Austin improvisers is joined by MW’s own Mac Blake. The show will run the remaining Thursdays in September so if you can’t catch it tonight you have three more opportunities. Tickets here.

Also this week, Mac will be a part of a Wildfire Recovery Benefit stand-up show and THE FINAL MW BROADCAST OF MEMBERSHIP DRIVE. More on that tomorrow.
