Hustle Up 2 with John Ramsey!

The Hustle Up returns! The cast of The Hustle Show gets behind the mic for some stand-up comedy 10PM tonight at ColdTowne Theater. Some Hustle Show cast members have hundreds of sets under their belts, others are just starting out, and some have NEVER done it. Sounds like it could be a train wreck, huh? Let me tell you, the last Hustle Up might have been my favorite show that I’ve ever been a part of.

This time we’re raising the stakes with a headlining set from the amazing John Ramsey (Conan, Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, FPiA Winner) and special guest spots from Master Pancake Theater’s John Erler and ColdTowne’s Michael Jastroch
Featuring David McQuary, David Jara, Curtis Luciani, Courtney Sevener, Scott Raney, Tre Fuentes and maybe a surprise.

Tickets.

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)

Announcing The Hustle Show

Do the something!
“Why are the podcasts so backed up?” I know, I’m a monster. My problem with time management exists because I have a hard time saying no to fun projects. When Josh Krilov, the artistic director at ColdTowne Theater, offered Mascot Wedding a monthly live show to do whatever we wanted with, I had the hardest of times sayign no to that. You might say impossibly hard, because we said yes in a heartbeat. Maybe two or three. I’m not the fastest typist. For example, I started this paragraph three hours ago.
Guys, I’m super excited to tell you about The Hustle Show. The Hustle Show is a modern variety show, featuring sketch, stand-up, music, games, and more. Our pilot episode is this Thursday. If people like it, it will continue the second Thursday of every month. What have we got for you?
Stand-up from Kath Barbadoro!
A sketch from Hot Property!
A musical appearance from David Lee Hess and Cody Dearing!
An interview with a failed TV talk show host!
A performance by the Austin Police Department Drama Club!
A Christmas Carol featuring Andrew Rosas from Ghostward!
And mucho mas!
It’s going to be a great show. We have a murderer’s row of Austin comedy types in our cast. Katie Sicking, Michael Pedicano, Ashley Franks, David McQuary, Scott Raney, Courtney Sevener, and Jeff Whitaker. Hosted by David Jara and myself. All for the no excuses price of $5. Hope to see you there.
10PM Thursday, Dec 8 @ ColdTowne Theater $5 BYOB. Tix here.
