Casey Rocket had 2 incredible connections to the Austin comedy scene before deciding to move here. He had watched Funniest, an amazing documentary produced by Dustin Svehlak and Katie Pengra, chronicling the lives of several Austin comics (including our queen, Lashonda Lester) as they compete in the Funniest Person in Austin contest. Secondly, he had flown to Austin, thinking "it was close enough" to Paris, Texas where he was to perform for the Tower City Comedy Festival in 2021 (us Texans are laughing at this, but you out of staters, might have made the same mistake).
Of course, the festival happened during one of the worst winter blizzards in Texas history, and renting a car to go from point A (Austin) to point B (Paris), wasn't possible, so Rocket hopped on a Greyhound for his festival appearance. It would be months later, after Austin won over the great Denver comedy scene, that Rocket made Austin home. Or rather, where he made a Walmart parking lot and his car, home.
