The Grind Comedy Show
Ready for a night of uncut laughs in the heart of Downtown Austin? The Grind Comedy Show is where Austin’s comedy scene gets real, raw, and relentlessly funny—three nights a week on Gnar Bar’s back patio.
Forget the fancy lights and velvet ropes. The Grind brings together the best up-and-coming comedians in town, plus surprise drop-ins from established acts like Kill Tony. Expect fresh lineups every week, unexpected guest spots, and a vibe that’s equal parts underground and unfiltered. It’s the kind of show where anything can happen—crowd work, callbacks, and maybe even a heckler or two (but only if they’re funny).
This is stand-up with zero pretension and maximum energy. Whether you’re a die-hard comedy nerd or just looking for a wild night out, The Grind delivers the goods:
- New talent every week
- Guest spots from nationally touring comics
- Back patio vibes under the Texas stars
- Drinks that hit as hard as the punchlines
So grab your crew, snag a spot on the patio, and get ready to laugh until your cheeks hurt. The Grind Comedy Show is where Austin’s funniest people come to play—and you’re invited to the party.
