2025 Riot Riverwalk Funniest in South Texas (FiST) Comedy Contest Prelims

🎤 Welcome to Riot Riverwalk — San Antonio’s New Home for Laughter!

Get ready for a high-energy night of stand-up at Riot Riverwalk at The Maverick, the city's newest hotspot for comedy, great drinks, and unforgettable vibes right on the Riverwalk. Expect ice-cold cocktails, tasty snacks, and non-stop laughs in a stylish, laid-back setting.

This special event features 48 comedians going head-to-head, all competing for the title — but only one will be crowned the winner. The top three will advance to the 2026 Riot Comedy Festival, earning their shot at the big stage.

It’s the perfect night out whether you're rolling with friends, planning a date, or just craving top-tier entertainment. And when the show wraps, head downstairs to the Library Cocktail Lounge, our hidden speakeasy bar, for craft cocktails and post-show chill time.

Come for the comedy, stay for the experience. 🎭✨

ALL SHOWS ARE AGES 21 & UP. NO DRINK MINIMUMS.
