On January 30th, for ONE NIGHT ONLY, the legendary Austin stand-up showcase SURE THING returns to its longtime home, Fallout Theater!
About this Event

Join us at 9pm for a jam-packed reunion party featuring old favorites, show debuts, and maybe even an extra surprise (or two…)
Over its historic eleven year run, SURE THING became a flagship showcase for the Austin comedy scene, surviving a venue closure and a global pandemic to present five hundred and twelve weekly installments from 2012-2013. A favorite of publications like the Austin Chronicle and Austin Monthly magazine, SURE THING was also one of Austin’s first stand-up shows to garner wider attention outside of our local scene, and features in outlets like Splitsider, NY Mag’s Vulture blog, and The AV Club helped to train national the spotlight away from the coasts and toward a booming generation of new comics based in Texas’ capitol city in the 2010’s.
Throughout it’s decade-plus run, SURE THING was entirely produced and hosted by local legends/best buds Duncan Carson and Brendan K. O’Grady, a feat that earned them an official proclamation from the city of Austin celebrating SURE THING as the longest-running standup show in ATX history. This special one-off edition of the show doesn’t signal the start of a new streak, but it does mean you get another chance to spend time with some old friends, catch some of the scene’s funniest new talents, and enjoy one more great night out at one of the city’s very best comedy venues, the fabulous Fallout Theater. We’ve never had to guarantee you’ll have a blast- it’s right there in the name!

$10 online (plus fees) | $15 at the door
