Welcome to Punchlines on the Patio — the new home for Houston comedy, built for the real ones.
This isn’t your average comedy blog filled with recycled LA gossip and top-10 listicles written by people who’ve never touched a mic. Nah. This one’s for the comics grinding it out at 11PM on a Tuesday. For the folks who’ve sat on plastic patio chairs just to laugh their asses off under a string of Home Depot lights. For Houston.
So Why Start a Comedy Blog?
Because someone had to.
Because Houston’s stand-up scene is slept on.
Because there’s too much talent in this city to keep flying under the radar.
And because honestly? The best sets aren’t happening in sold-out theaters. They’re happening right now, in backyards, bar basements, taco shops, and yeah — patios.
What You’ll Get Here:
This blog is where we highlight the real ones. The comics, the weirdos, the crowd killers, and the "wait… that person actually crushed?" moments.
Expect:
-
Spotlights on local Houston comedians who are building something out here
-
Recaps from our live shows (the good, the wild, and the trainwrecks)
-
Behind-the-scenes nonsense, mic drama, and hot takes you didn’t ask for
-
A front-row seat to what it looks like building a comedy community — patio by patio
The Mission’s Simple:
Laugh more.
Support local.
Don’t take yourself too seriously.
We’re not here to be fancy. We’re here to build something that’s fun, community-driven, and actually gives a damn about local comedy. If you’re in Houston and you love stand-up, this is where you belong.
What’s Next?
We’ve got live shows coming, features dropping, and a few surprises lined up. If you're a comic, a fan, a venue owner, or just someone who loves watching people tell jokes they wrote five minutes ago — stay close.
Follow us on [Instagram] and [X], pull up to a show, and spread the word.
Punchlines on the Patio is just getting started.
Let’s make Houston laugh a little louder.
