This Holiday Season, The New Movement is getting into GIVING BACK. Knockout at TNM, Austin’s weekly comedy clash, has invited eight returning CHAMPIONS to take the stage for the ultimate PRIZE FIGHT. Not only will they be battling for bragging, they’ll be competing to win money for their favorite CHARITY.
Every Monday, two troupes face-off, and - with your vote - one troupe claims the purse for a local nonprofit organization, and moves on to the next round. Come each week for a competition of giggles and generosity, because the only thing that feels better than laughing is helping your community.
Laugh hard. Do good! It’s Knockout’s CHAMPS FOR CHARITY.

FAQs
Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter your events?
Unless specifically stated above, our Austin theater is all ages and BYOB. However, if the event is providing free booze (which sometimes happens), you'll have to show a 21+ ID in order to partake. Our New Orleans theater has a full-service bar in it, so anyone 18 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Other than that, our programming tends to be PG-13 & up, so keep that in mind.
What’s your refund policy?
If you buy an online ticket, you should arrive 30 min before the start of the show to guarantee getting a seat because we also sell tickets at the door and usually have a crowd waiting for no-show seats. If you don't arrive at least 10 min before the show, your seats could be given out to people on our waiting list, and if that happens, you will not be entitled to a refund as we don't offer refunds after the show has started.
