And now, add JT Habersaat to the list. The Austin-based \u201cgodfather of punk comedy\u201d makes for a natural tandem with Mz. Lunch; he has deep roots in the DIY underground, is an accomplished author and has opened for Henry Rollins. <\/p>\n<p>So Habersaat will make you laugh and then Lydia will make you flinch repeatedly. We\u2019re all in! <\/p>\n<p>7 p.m., Monday, Dec. 8, Will\u2019s Pub, 1042 N.
