Kill Tony Watch Party

Monday Nights at Shakespeare's

The weekly gathering spot for Austin comics

Every Monday, Austin's comedy community packs into Shakespeare's to watch Kill Tony live. The energy is electric — local comics, out-of-towners passing through, and fans all crammed in together. You'll see familiar faces from the scene, hear about upcoming shows, and feel the buzz that comes from watching someone land a golden ticket minute on stage. It's part watch party, part networking event, part comedy church. If you're in Austin on a Monday, this is where you need to be.
