Austinist Giveaway: Comedians of Comedy, Tonight at Emo's!
We're running a quick giveaway contest for the "Comedians of Comedy," happening at Emo's tonight! Simply be the first to send us an email and you're in. Update: Congrats, Sonia! From their website:
A new wave of creative, risk-taking comedians are coming out of Los Angeles, New York, and cities all over America. Tired of shopworn premises, hack punchlines, and impersonal comedy, these so-called "alternative" comedians are the vanguard of what stand-up comedy will become in the 21st century.
The Original Comedians of Comedy Tour is bringing these comedians to their fans who normally don't get to see them, playing small, packed indie music clubs and college venues.
Patton Oswalt, with an upcoming Comedy Central 1 Hour Special and best-selling album FEELIN' KINDA PATTON; Brian Posehn, writer and performer on MR. SHOW WITH BOB AND DAVID, and Maria Bamford, star of her own Comedy Central special - all of them rising stars in the "alt comedy" scene, very funny, with solid personal hygiene habits.
No drink minimums, no crappy comedy club food, no props (except for Brian's "bubble magic", Patton's "Monica Lewinsky Puppet Theater" and Maria's Box o' Props) this is stand-up comedy where it should be - not in a comedy club.
Appearing tonight at Emo's: Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Eugene Mirman and more!

Hi Allen,
I was more than ecstatic to win the free ticket to Comedians of Comedy show last night – couldn’t stop telling people about it all day. I headed downtown, found parking, stood in line for 45 minutes only to find out that my name was not on the list. In fact, they hadn’t even heard of any ticket giveaway from anyone at the Austinist and therefore did not let me in to what I can only assume was a fantastic show.
a little pissed but mostly very sad,
Sonia
