Celebrating 10 years of the next big thing in comedy with four days of sketch, improv and standup from favorite performers past and present.
Evenings sponsored by our friends at 4th Tap Brewing Co-op, Crystal Creek Distillery, Shiner Beer and Tito’s.
2006: There was no iPhone, W. was president and the only comedy clubs in town had a two drink minimum. After a series of test runs, five comedy nerds opened a theater in a dusty store room in the back of a video store. It was put together with salvaged lumber, chairs and $400 they had pooled from the FEMA payouts they received after Katrina. Ten years later, ColdTowne has graduated over 455 students and performers, runs more than 21 shows Monday thru Sunday and welcomes over 800 audience members per week. this weekend, ColdTowne will turn ten years old, celebrating with a specially curated line-up of best-of and reunion shows.
