Adam Cayton-Holland

Named one of the top 25 comedians to watch by Esquire magazine, comedian Adam Cayton-Holland has a subtle sense of humor. He likes to joke about how he couldn't keep up with the party-hearty crowd that showed up for the annual South by Southwest festival in Austin. When he failed to catch a beer thrown his way, the patron told him he was down 1 to nothing. "I'm very competitive so it makes me crazy that some guy in Austin thinks I'm losing," he says. A veteran of the festival circuit, Cayton-Holland performs at 8 tonight at Hilarities and has shows scheduled through Saturday. Tickets are $22 to $27. (Niesel)
