Avery Moore is a standup comedian, actor, voice actor, and more living in Austin, Texas.
"I’ve just always wanted to be a comedian in some form. And when I started watching standup specials in like middle school I realized that you could actually do that. I just didn’t make that connection that it was a job," Moore says.and says she comes from a theater background. Her mom ran a children’s theater. So it’s not too much of a surprise that she got into performing, as Moore says, it’s always been a big part of her life.
"My parents just had that stuff on tape like recorded on VHS so that’s what we would watch and so my grandparents like to watch and I thought it was hilarious, so I never really moved on from that," Moore says.More than 150 comics are coming to Austin. The Moontower Comedy Festival is now Moontower Just For Laughs Austin and though the name is different, the goal is still to have fun and make people laugh. Lietza Brass with Moontower has the details.
"A lot has been pointed out that all my references are too old for me and usually too old for the audience except for a few people. But I guess I’ve been doing this long enough that I still make them laugh even if maybe the reference goes over their head," Moore says. As for the musical bits and impressions she does, Moore says they’re mostly just ones she’s done since she’s been a kid. When asked if she has a favorite impression, Moore says she'd probably choose her impression of Julia Child if she had been cast in "The Mask" instead of Jim Carrey. Another impression she says she liked to do as well is Bernie Sanders.Comedian Donnell Rawlings will be one of the headliners at this year's festival.
