Welcome to Standups & Startups: Atlanta Tech Week 2026 Edition A night of professional stand-up comedy and startup community, for founders, investors, builders, and the people who make the room worth being in. This event is part of #ATLTechWeek: Atlanta's week-long celebration of the builders, founders, and technologists shaping the future of tech and the South. Hosted By Standups & Startups ...presented by RED Shows in Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, and Birmingham. A high energy night out, not a networking obligation — real laughs, drinks, and the occasional accidental lesson in owning a room. All while surrounded by your people. 🎤 The night: Local professional comics take the stage. Then we close with Pitches Get Stitches® — a volunteer gets a randomly generated business name ("Crypto-Enabled Cat Therapy," "AI-Powered Origami") and pitches it live to the room. The audience judges. The winner takes home the trophy. It is not a term sheet. It is better. ✅ Your $28: Stand-up comedy · Pitches Get Stitches® (get on stage or just watch) · drinks, no minimums · a room full of Atlanta's startup community. 📍 TSQ Clubhouse · 848 Spring St NW, Atlanta, GA 30308 📅 Friday, August 14, 2026 · Doors 5:00 · End 7:00 🎟 $28 · 18+ · 75 seats.
