What is F.I.S.T.?


I've heard lots of questions about F.I.S.T.:

(Okay, nobody really asks me anything.)

What's F.I.S.T.?
F.I.S.T. (Funniest In South Texas) is an annual comedy contest including some of the best comedians in San Antonio, Austin, and the other few surrounding areas that have heard of it.

It's like gladiators without the gladiators ...but you may get to see some people kill on stage and others, like me, die slowly for five minutes.

Who's F.I.S.T?
My F.I.S.T. yo F.A.C.E.! (Yeah, I'm not proud of that.)

Past winners include some of my favorite local comedians: Jay Lafarr, Alex "Kool-Aid" Ansel, and Raul Sanchez! Past winners help by hosting the contest rounds and end the night by doing one of their comedy sets. 



Why F.I.S.T?
Because comedians can give up to 15 free tickets away as long as your RSVP with a comic ahead of time! (Let me know if you want tickets.) Last year, the contest sold out! So don't miss out, San Antonio!

Don't strain yourself looking: I'm in the second round :)Where F.I.S.T?

Where F.I.S.T?
Rounds will be held at the Rivercenter Comedy Club and the LOL Comedy Club. Please refer to the schedule on the right.


You know that your blog about F.I.S.T. doesn't help you get any respect, especially from the other comics, right?

Yes.










When F.I.S.T?

Funniest in South Texas (F.I.S.T) 2013 starts tonight, Monday Feb. 2nd, at the Rivercenter Comedy Club!

The first round is packed with great comedians (and because I don't feel like putting myself through naming my personal favorites, let's say they all have an equal shot to make it to the F.I.S.T. finals!)
