Dave Chapelle has popped into Houston comedy clubs with little or no fanfare.
Has this happened in Austin?
What is Austin comedy these days?
Bill Hicks (and Sam Kineson and other “Outlaw Comics”) were an 80s Houston fixture.
One of the “old outlaws” is still around and mentoring the new comics.
But do any of these cities really have “strong” comedy scenes? Seems to me that Austin has too many people walking softly on eggshells to really go for broke.
Austin is too Californicated now.
