The lineup for the official SXSW Comedy festival was announced today, getting us amped for some homegrown talent (like Matt Bearden, Chris Cubas and former "Austin Stories" star Howard Kremer) alongside big names like John Oliver, Eugene Mirman, Michael Ian Black and Tig Notaro.

Most teenagers cringe at the thought of meeting their parents' high expectations -- good grades, well-behaved friends, and a plan for the future -- and none more so than Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano), the son of legendary superheroes Commander (Kurt Russell) and Jetstream (Kelly Preston).

This clever Disney comedy follows Will from his first day as star student at Sky High, an elite school for the children of superheroes.

The only problem is that Will apparently has no special powers, and he can't let his parents find out!

For those of you who may not know, The Kids in the Hall is a sketch comedy group from Canada comprised of members Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson.

Formed in 1985, the group has had much success, most notably with their TV show of the same name (produced by SNL’s Lorne Michaels) that ran from 1989 to 1995.

The humor is clever and absurd — sometimes totally surreal — with lots of gender bending and parody. Their last tour of North America was in 2000.

This year they’re back on the road and headed to Austin.
