All-Star Weekend: Night Two!

The Austin comedy scene is booming - and The Velv has been at its center for over 38 years. We're celebrating All-Star Weekend with the best this town has to offer, featuring comics from SXSW, Moontower Comedy Festival, and more! We've got 5 shows with 5 different lineups - all hits, no skips! If you've wanted to check out the Austin scene, you can't go wrong with any of these shows!


These lineups have been carefully curated, featuring a good mix of established headliners and the hottest up-and-coming comics in town. With the latest uptick of famous comics moving to Austin, you never know who may drop in unannounced!


The Velveeta Room has been a constant presence in the local comedy scene, helping foster talent for nearly four decades. In a rapidly changing city, we embrace the new talent that has emerged here, while proudly remaining a symbol of Old Austin. Come hang hard at Austin's longest-running comedy club!
