Half Empty Half Full is a literary comedy game show with a twist! Optimism versus pessimism—Austin's sharpest and wittiest stand-up comics and writers share their talents and compete to determine if the glass is half empty or half full. The show's host, comedian and poet Valerie Nies (McSweeney's, Rattle, and the comedy show Smile More), is joined by a panel of clever judges to choose who wins: the comedians and writers who see life half full or half empty!We've got comedy, essays, and poetry in November! The lineup includes a bunch of funny literary folks! Julia Ross (Bookwoman 2nd Thursday open mic, 2River View, About Place Journal, Rise Up Review, The Marbled Sigh), Bryn Wright, Bill Carroll, and Jessica Torres (Amoeba Improv, Get Baked).
This month's judging panel includes: seasoned comedic and literary pros Cristina Adams, Britney Salyer, and Half Empty regular actor/comedian/roastmaster general Tyler Randle.
