Cap City Comedy Club and Moontower Comedy present HOME BASE: The Best of Austin Comedy! Expect the ULTIMATE comedy showcase featuring the best, brightest, and funniest comics from the 512. Local laughs don’t get better than this, folks. Featuring JR Brow, Leah Mulroney, Duncan Carson, Tim Williams, Brandi Davis, and Andre Ricks. Hosted by Taylor Dowdy and Zac Brooks.
J.R. Brow went to college, became a standup comic, and eventually toured 49 states and 4 continents with his guitar in hand. His original standup comedy instantly won over young and old fans alike. Almost immediately, J.R. marched to the finals of the San Francisco Comedy Competition. He has opened for performers like Dana Carvey, Ray Romano, Bill Hicks, and Steven Wright. He's recently been featured on Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham" and CBS’s "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" as well as many other television spots along the way.
Tim Williams is a stand up comedian known for silly stories with (sometimes) sharp points, collected and told from a laid back perspective. He is originally from Texas but has told jokes around the world. In his career so far, he has performed on the Moontower Comedy Festival and has opened for various comics whose names might impress you.
Leah Mulroney is a comedian based in Austin Texas, and she hosts a variety of shows in downtown Austin. She has opened for local favorites at the Velveeta Room, and shares an ultra-feminine perspective in her comedy for people of all genders.
Andre Ricks is an Austin comedian with a loose and fun approach to telling jokes based in his observational humor. He's performed all over the world from London to L.A and has worked with April Macie( Netflix), Judah Friedlander( Netflix), Josh Johnson ( The Daily Show), and many more.
Originally from Milwaukee, Duncan Carson has been a mainstay of the Austin comedy scene for a decade. He is the co-host of SURE THING, one of the city's longest-running and acclaimed shows, and has performed at several Moontowers, Fun Fun Fun Fest, the Limestone Comedy Festival, and the finals of the Funniest Person in Austin contest. He has been described as "the closest thing to a stand up philosopher you could meet," which he found altogether too flattering.
Brandi Davis is an Austin based comedian whose humor is quirky, queer, and just the right amount of self deprecating. She has performed at various venues throughout Austin including the Velveeta Room and Cap City Comedy Club. When she’s not on stage, you can catch her eating Captain Crunch for dinner and desperately trying to pet other people’s dogs.
Taylor Dowdy is a stand up comedian based out of Austin, Texas. Despite his sour grimace and often lavish wardrobe, he has a great time telling crowds all about his life experiences. He has been a regular performer at Cap City Comedy Club and the Velveeta Room opening for national touring headliners such as Tim Dillon and Gareth Reynolds. He has hosted multiple shows of his own in Austin including Ground Floor at Hotel Vegas and Beamed Inn at Spiderhouse Ballroom.
Zac Brooks is an Austin based comic originally from Houston. Every month he co-hosts “Peep Show” at Spider House Ballroom, where some of Austin's best comedians make childish commentary on vintage pornography. He loves chili dogs.
