The Altercation Punk Comedy Tour, an underground collective of standup comics from across the country handpicked by headliner and founder JT Habersaat, has announced an October 2009 spanning national tour. Bypassing traditional comedy clubs almost entirely in favor of music venues, burlesque halls and indie cafes, the tour has gone on to perform alongside such acts as Bad Brains, The Revival Tour, Bouncing Souls, Dead Milkmen and many more, in addition to receiving critical raves from ‘Amp’, ‘The Onion’, ‘Revolver’ and more.
