Robert Segovia, affectionately known as Bobby Comedy, hosts this monthly show at a real hidden gem of a venue. Wonderful coffee and beer with a wide array of to-go beverages too. The kolaches are also yummy, but if you only come to Batch during the comedy show you’re going to have limited selection. Due to the ongoing global pandemic and Stage 4 restrictions in Austin the show is being held outdoors. Here’s the thing with outdoor shows, the sound has nowhere to bounce off of so laughter and punchlines just evaporate. If you aren’t sitting close to other audience members it can feel like no one is enjoying the show at all. Comedy is a community oriented activity, so without the group it’s much harder to get into it.

I’ve seen everyone on the show many times and they’re great, but I’m not taking alot of notes during the shows and usually am drinking so apologies for not recapping the whole show. I am excited about two specific bits that were performed. First Ashley Overton has some material about mega churches that was incredible. Practically tearing up, was so funny. Then Justin Hicks faces the elephant in the room and assigns each table a number, gets their team captain, and has each team take turns scoring his jokes on a 1-3 scale. The audience bought in right away, it was fun, and I think it really made the show memorable.
