There's no better way to celebrate the impending arrival of autumn than a week-long lineup of the world's best comedians. That's precisely what you'll find at the Out of Bounds Comedy Festival, an annual tradition in Austin. For the fifteenth year in a row, this festival takes over Austin in the week leading up to Labor Day weekend, featuring performances by some of the funniest people from around the nation and the globe.
From sketch shows to improv to standup, the many forms that comedy takes during the Out of Bounds fest means that there's something for everyone. You can buy a pass to a single show that intrigues you, or snag a festival pass if you want to see every performance on the schedule (or at least a good handful). The pass grants you access to headliners too, including some local comedians and those with experience performing in big comedy markets like Chicago and L.A., including John Belushi's nephew, Rob Belushi.
