The Red Room at Cap City: Ali Macofsky

Ali Macofsky is headlining The Red Room at Cap City Comedy Club on Friday, October 23, at 9:45 PM. If you've spent any time around the stand-up scene, you've probably come across her name through the Comedy Store's weekly Kill Tony podcast, where she made history as the first regular to perform on more than 100 episodes. That's a lot of time on a stage known for being one of the toughest rooms in the business, and it's a good place to get a sense of where she's coming from.

She's a stand-up, actress, and writer who's been moving into the bigger rooms lately. In 2022, she was named a Just For Laughs New Face, and she made her late-night television debut on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2024. Her stand-up has pulled in millions of views across Comedy Central, Don't Tell Comedy, and Just For Laughs, and she's opened for a wide range of names—musicians like St. Vincent and comedians like Joe Rogan, Marc Maron, and Stavros Halkias—while headlining her own dates across the country. This is one of those nights where she's the main draw, taking the full set herself.

There are a few things to keep in mind before you head out. The Red Room is an 18+ room, so you'll need to be of age to get in. There's a two-item minimum per person in the showroom, and seating runs from general admission to reserved seats assigned by management on the night, so don't expect to pick your own spot. Tickets start at $43, with an average around $55 to $66 per show. The show is at 9:45 PM on Friday, October 23, at Cap City Comedy Club, 8120 Research Blvd. #100, Austin, TX 78758.
