The four-day Riot Comedy Fest starts this Thursday at Rudyard's.
Rudyard’s has doubled down on comedy and The Riot’s Brian Gendron may be the one to thank. After transforming their space in December, the new upstairs at Rudyard's is ready to show its stuff with the jam-packed four-day extravaganza aptly calledGendron, the festival’s producer and a stand-up comic himself, shares his gratitude on the partnership he’s built with Rudyard’s. “Rud’s was the first place I performed and been a space for comedy for decades,” he says.
"Then we’re going to be shutting down that stretch of Waugh Drive between Indiana and Welsh and across the street there is going to be an 82 by 82 foot tent and in there we are expected to get about 500 people. It will be open-ended so the backside of the tent will actually be open and we’ve got big screens going up so that more people can actually be there for the larger shows. We’ll be able to do three shows, three stages at the same time – but we’ll stagger them the best we can.
With Rudyard’s renovations, and a healthy number of shows returning after a brief COVID depression, Gendron seems to see the future as bright for not only his show, but the Houston scene at large.
