For Austin comedy fans, Moontower Comedy Festival is comedy Christmas, and this year the organizers have managed the unimaginable – a 12th consecutive year of outdoing themselves. If I’ve done my math correctly, this is Moontower’s most ambitious lineup ever: a dizzying 126 shows, which started on April 10 and runs through April 21.
Just for Laughs declared bankruptcy in March, and while that put JFL’s partnership with Moontower on pause, it’s just a minor hiccup for the folks behind Moontower, who are accustomed to organizing the festival on their own. Moontower 2024 is primed to deliver a “bigger and better” schedule with 150 comedians performing in 13 venues over 12 days. Following the last two years’ model, headliners dominate the first week and club shows close out the festival.
Top-billed Moontower headliners taking over bigger performance spaces include Andrew Schulz at the Moody Center, Shane Gillis at Cedar Park’s H-E-B Center, and Ronny Chieng and Tim Robinson each performing at Bass Concert Hall. Scrolling down the list of performers, you’ll find festival favorites Kathy Griffin, Margaret Cho, Marc Maron, and Brad Williams.
Kindler says he’s been “willing to go out, but only on his own terms.†It wasn’t until his brother’s recent birthday that Kindler flew again. After over 30 years of traveling for comedy, Kindler earned himself a break. But the comic, voice actor, andKindler’s charm is freely telling you what’s on his mind, be it onstage or not. “Andy is a must-see comic that should top the list of everyone who loves comedy,” says Moontower Executive Producer Lietza Brass.
. He planned to record a new album at Moontower but decided against it. However, he promises new material for those of us lucky enough to see him during his several club weekend shows, including his “Particular Show” at the Hideout on April 19. Kindler will also be in two shows on April 18: the Joke of Painting and his own headlining set at Higbie’s.
