Live Comedy Goodness In The Live Music Capital

Last night we paid a visit to the Velveeta Room on 6th Street. Located near the Red River intersection, it shares a building with Esther's Follies. For a $5 cover charge we were entertained by featured performer Seth Cockfield and headliner Eric Krug. Both guys were very funny, the drinks were cheap and the room was intimate. Eric recently won the Funniest Person In Austin battle royale for 2008 and showed why with his self-effacing humor. We really enjoyed the Velveeta Room.



We followed our night out with a stop at Austin's answer to the Jersey diner. The Kerbey Lane Cafe is open 24/7 and offers four locations scattered around the town. We went to the South Lamar location and had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. Around midnight we secured our spot and I had the migas while Heather had a burger with sweet potato fries. Head to head, I'd say the Austin cafe is right up there with the famed Jersey diner, definately less greasy.
