Well, that's 2011 for you.  All said, all done.  Alas, we've got one last throw-down to send the year packing.  Consider it our own little Drunken Holliday Office Party.  You'll agree to show up and tip a few back.  We'll pack the line-up with quality, professinal acts and handle the rest of the details.  Deal?  Deal.

See you TUESDAY!

**We sell out each week.  Guarantee entry via pre-purchase.  Call the CapCity Box Office @ 467-2333, or, purchase online.  Or gamble on a walk-up.**

SHOWLIST: 12/06 | To Live and Die in LA

*Some incoming links incorrectly list this show as being on 11/29.  Obviously, that's obsurd!  It is indeed TUE, DEC 06. -the managment

It feels pretty good!  Austin has become a comedy hot-bed, and more and more acts are relocating to our fine burg.  Still, each year a few of our best talents spread out to LA or NY in search of different challenges.  We won't lie: it's a real bummer.  But such is our business.  Sadly, wer're once again losing some of our faves.  We hope you'll come out to help us wish a big PUNCH! send off for Andy Ritchie & Ruby Collins.  Their contributions to Austin over the last decade are immeasurable.  

We'll miss them both.

PUNCH!'s Space

PUNCH! is the best, most-consistent comedy show in Austin. Seriously. Plus it's only five bucks to get in. So it's a no-brainer. But go ahead and gamble on that $8.50 movie, Ass-hat.
