SUMMARY:Owen Dunn at the Joke Joint
DESCRIPTION:: Owen Dunn has been making a name for himself doing stand up for the past six years. Owen is a three-time finalist in Houston’s Funniest Person and was selected to perform at the 2024 Funny or Die Oddball Comedy Festival side stage. He has also been selected to perform at this year’s Laughing Skull Comedy Festival and is currently one of the Top 40 Comics in this year’s World Series of Comedy.\n\nWhen he’s not on stage\, Owen Dunn\, can be found harnessing the infinite (and sometimes scary) powers of YouTube. He is the brains behind a channel titled Easier Said than Dunn where he can be seen sizing up underwhelming fast food delicacies\, zinging odd news stories and appearing as a main character in the slightly twisted escapades of two bespectacled buddies in his Apartment 8 series. Through all of his projects\, Owen Dunn’s unique sense of humor—a mix of observational\, deadpan/sarcastic and black comedy—shines through to the delight of his growing fan base.

SUMMARY:“Talking Sh!t After Dark” with Bryson Brown at the Joke Joint
DESCRIPTION:One Night Only!\n\n‘Talking Sh!t After Dark’ with Bryson Brown\n\nBryson’s smooth and laid back approach to everyday life situations makes him a crowd favorite. His popular stage phrase “I just want err body to feel comfortable” will make you do just that. The ability to pick through the smallest point of the subject\, and always choosing material that’s close to his situation enables him to write and also keep his stage show fresh. Being able to adapt to any crowd has allowed him to perform at colleges\, military functions\, business functions\, and comedy clubs across Texas and the United States.
