Seeso, the ad-free comedy streaming channel from NBCUniversal's Digital Enterprises, today announced it will host and program the Saturday, March 12 premiere show to kick-off SXSW's Comedy lineup. The event will begin at 6:00PM CT at Esther's Follies (525 E 6th St, Austin, TX 78701) and will require a SXSW badge to enter. The Saturday night shows also will be livestreamed on Seeso and accessible for fans outside of the Austin-based festival.

The producers and cast of Seeso's "Bajillion Dollar Propertie$," a Paramount Digital Entertainment production and half-hour, semi-scripted comedy with an ensemble of seven real estate agents set against the backdrop of a luxury, cut throat LA real estate firm, will kick off the live event with a special "Bajillion Dollar Propertie$" episode with creator and executive producer Kulap Vilaysack's and her co-host Howard Kremer's "Who Charted?" podcast at 6:00PM CT. The show also will include improv featuring executive producer Scott Aukerman, as well as Ryan Gaul, Mandell Maughan, Tawny Newsome, Drew Tarver and Paul F. Tompkins.

"HarmonQuest" will take the stage at 8:00PM CT with a first-look at the upcoming Seeso original from Universal Cable Productions- a comedic journey into the hilarious world of fantasy roleplaying with Dan Harmon and his Comedian Companions. The show will feature Executive Producers Dan Harmon and Spencer Crittenden, as well as Erin McGathy and Jeff Bryan Davis, and special guest Thomas Middleditch.

The Saturday night grand finale will feature stand-up sets from Executive Producers of "Take My Wife," Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher, as well as a special appearance by Jonah Ray from "Hidden America with Jonah Ray" at 10:00PM CT.

Cameron Esposito will give SXSW-goers a sneak peek of her upcoming, first-ever stand-up special "Cameron Esposito: Marriage Material" on Sunday March 13 at 7:00PM CT at The Hideout (617 Congress Ave, Austin, TX 7870). The "Cameron Esposito: Marriage Material" special officially premieres on Seeso March 24.
