Introducing JEST FEST! Featuring Holly Lorka with Carey Moore and Sean Mooney

Check out a cool new (soon to be regular) comedy show at a South Austin landmark, Jovitas. I know you’ll all have been there the night before for Donna Jam, but you can never have too much queso and cheap drinks, can you? Come top off your weekend by laughing at some of Austin’s finest and most adorable local comedians at the inaugural JEST FEST. The headliner is noneother than Austin’s favorite lesbian comedian Holly Lorka, who will guarantee to make you pee your pants. Seriously. Be sure to bring extra undies.

A mere $5 cover turns Jovita’s all day Happy Hour into a VERY Happy Hour. Show starts at 6pm. And don’t worry-even though it’s a Sunday show, it’s early. So you can all go home

 to drink your Ovaltine and make it to bed by 10.

Free (no charge) – Performance Artist Tim Miller discusses and performs excerpts from his latest work, Lay of the Land.

Careening from his sexy misadventures while performing in 45 States, to street protests for Marriage Equality, to the electoral assaults on gay folks all over the country, to a grade-school flag monitor, to choking on cheap meat caught in his 10-year old gay boy’s throat, LAY OF THE LAND friskily gets at that feeling of gay folks being perpetually on trial, on the ballot, and on the menu! LAY OF THE LAND is a “lay” in all kinds of ways: a sex-assignation, a queer citizenship map, and a narrative ballad with a recurrent refrain! (Miller’s favorite way-down-the-list definition for “lay”!).

Everyone is going to be there, so don’t miss out!!

And lucky for us, we can get the full “Holly experience” tonight.

But first, how did she get to be so funny? When Holly was a kid, she wanted to be a superstar. Famous. In the spot light. Up on stage. But she had no idea what talent would get her there, so instead she decided to become a nurse (because everyone knows how scrubs and suppositories lead to certain fame and fortune).
 
She moved to Austin four years ago because she had a dream about it. Why not? People kept telling her how funny she was, and she thrived by telling her stories and getting people to laugh. That’s when she took a class called “Comedy Gym” which lead to an assignment: survive 5 minutes on stage at Cap City Comedy Club. And that was the beginning. As soon as she got her first laugh, she was hooked (and so were we!).
 
Her style is definitely engaging. She often talks on stage about the things that have caused her shame or embarrassment in her life: body image, gender identification, being good at Dungeons And Dragons, growing up nerdy and gay. Telling these jokes is empowering and takes the sting out of it for her. Hearing people laugh at some of these stories is validation that we have all suffered the same insults—we are all trying to survive our absurdity. Her philosophy is dead on: “If everyone laughed a little more, there’d be less time for crying. And for role-playing games.” Well said, Holly.

Check Holly out TONIGHT at Cap City Comedy Club’s “Chick Schtick” @ 8pm—along with plenty of other funny ladies. You won’t be disappointed! www.capcitycomedy.com
