Now that the dust has settled and our esteemed roster of comics has scattered around the globe, we thought it would be a good time to take a last look back at the Musicfest Comedy Showcases, share some pictures, and provide links to the podcasts recorded on the SXSW Comedy stage.

Following stellar showcases during the SXSW Film and Interactive conferences, SXSW Comedy took a breather then came out swinging with two nights of “The Benson Interruption” LIVE followed by talent-packed stand-up showcases with the likes of Darryl Lenox, Eugene Mirman, Kurt Braunohler, Tig Notaro, Amy Schumer, Ben Kronberg, Chelsea Peretti, Chris Fairbanks, Glenn Wool and Hampton Yount. Some highlights from the shows included a surprise appearance from Aziz Ansari who did the “Interruption” and stand-up performances, a host of comics roasting hipster attendees and SXSW itself, and a devastating performance from Darryl Lenox. When Donald Glover couldn’t make it, Lenox stepped in immediately following the announcement and destroyed with a set that brought the house down. (Later, Glover phoned in to the stage to express his apologies for missing the event).
See below for pictures from the music weekend showcases.
