Who will be the next comic to be crowned the Funniest Person in Austin? Since Kerry Awn first took the title in 1986, the city’s best stand-ups have come together to make a big joke of the whole idea of a competition, all seeking to deliver the best tight five that the judges have ever seen. Catch these hopeful funny folks across five weeks of semifinals, and remember: It’s all in good fun. – Richard Whittaker
