611 E 7th St, Austin, TX 78701, USA Get directions
Darkhouse runs live standup in downtown Austin's East 7th Street stretch, the kind of intimate, performance-focused room where the bill is built around the comics rather than a sprawling bar scene. Check the schedule before you go, since shows run on select nights rather than every evening of the week.

Austin
Alamo Drafthouse's Mueller location keeps the chain's signature formula intact: you order food and craft cocktails right from your seat, delivered quietly mid-film, while a strict no-talking, no-texting policy keeps the room focused on the screen. Beyond first-run releases, it's worth checking the calendar for themed screenings, quote-alongs, and the pre-show reels of vintage clips that Alamo curates instead of commercials.
Austin
Austin's Paramount Theatre sits in a restored 1915 building on Congress Avenue, its neon vertical sign and gilded interior marking it as one of the city's oldest surviving performance halls. Today it hosts everything from touring plays and comedy to a beloved summer classic film series, and it's a regular venue during SXSW and other downtown festivals.
Austin
On Austin's busy 6th Street, Esther's Follies stages a long-running musical-comedy revue blending political satire, sketch comedy, and live magic, with a glass backdrop that opens onto the sidewalk so passersby on the street become part of the show. Expect topical, irreverent humor and a vaudeville spirit—and note that performances run later in the week, so check the schedule before you go.
