A full celebration of the arts, culture, comedy, and community is taking place at Bad Astronaut on April 17th.

The night begins with a red carpet pop podcast experience hosted by Ashley Peterson, NFL First Lady and creator of *Talk That Talk*, setting the tone for an evening rooted in creativity and connection.

Guests can explore a free show business art exhibit, highlighting visual storytelling and local talent, before the main event begins at 7PM.

Stand-Up for SWAMP Brunch Comedy Battles brings the energy with a live comedy competition hosted by Brunch Comedy Show in partnership with the Southwest Alternate Media Project — where comedians go head-to-head for the crowd.

This event supports SWAMP’s Boot Camp, a three-week program dedicated to developing and uplifting Houston’s youth through media arts, mentorship, and hands-on experience.

It’s more than a night out — it’s an opportunity to experience the city’s creative spirit while directly investing in its future.

Come for the art, stay for the laughs, and be part of something that gives back.
