It’s a good time to be Al Madrigal.

Last year, the veteran standup comic joined The Daily Show as a correspondent, the same gig that launched the careers of Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert and Ed Helms. Then earlier this month, Madrigal, along with comedian Bill Burr, launched the All Things Comedy network, which hosts some already well-established iTunes-topping podcasts.

Now, Madrigal is filming his one-hour Comedy Central special, and he’s doing it in Austin.

On Thursday, Oct. 25, catch Madrigal at ACL Live at the Moody Theater. He will be performing two shows, and admittance is free with your RSVP. Tickets are almost gone, so act fast.

Click here to claim your free tickets. The shows start at 7 and 9:30 p.m., but audience members are expected to be there 45 minutes before showtime.

Madrigal’s humor revolves around his life as a middle-class family man in southern California. He jokes about raising his oddball kids and the trials of trying to be the man of the house.
