Featured Performers
Kitty Kitty Bang Bang
Kitty Kitty Bang Bang(TM) is a small ranch in the Texas hill country run by a perfumed posse of wayward women. They spend their days out at the ranch bronco bustin' and pillow fightin'. When they are feeling particularly wild, this bunch of tough hussies head straight to town for a night of sin, gin, and tassel twirlin'.
Jigglewatts
When you mix the Ziegfeld Follies with Studio 54 and add a little Barnum and Bailey, you get the wonderful world of The Jigglewatts! Theirs is the realm of that jewel-box theatre on the left bank of Paris, the jazz club with the knockout chanteuse, flowing champagne and raucous laughter, red velvet curtains, and the glitter and sparkle of gems across skin. A knowing wink and lots of cheek is the password into their speakeasy.
Big Star Burlesque
Big Star Burlesque is out to turn the burlesque world on its heels! Our world is the world of dark alley troubadours, sideshow oddities, comedy that would make your momma blush and, of course, the most fabulous, full figured ladies this south of the Mason-Dixon line
Dr. Sketchy
Where drinking and drawing is the norm. We host monthly life drawing classes with a twist. We get the best local entertainers to pose for us and we take up residence in a bar for an afternoon of getting our sketch on.
La Fenice
You may have noticed that we look a little familiar. Once upon a time we graced Austin's stages as the Austin Commedia Society. Since we went on hiatus in 2002, our Company Members have explored all sorts of other creative avenues,
but Commedia is like a pizza pie – you can't help but come back for seconds. With an expanded game plan for fulfilling our mission,
we're excited to bring the hibernating art form of Commedia dell'Arte back to the Austin artistic scene.
Barebones Orchestra
Austin's own born and raised open-source music project. A mix of jam, blues, and rock opera with an orchestral mardi gras feel.
Clyde and Clem's Whiskey Business
Clyde and Clem were born in deepest, dangest parts of America. Since meetin' each other in 'ought 3, they done wrote all the dangest best songs what ever was.
'Member that one song with the part that goes, "woo oo ooo... ooo ooo ooo..." They wrote that one, and a mess o' others as well.
John Pointer
A formative member of Schroedinger's Cat and other popular Austin bands like Boombox, John Pointer is an exceptional musician and actor, as well as one of the best beatboxers around!
Soy Bombs
We were trying for a mid-90s indie rock sound but we ended up with a late-70s punk sound. Elvis Costello?
Alon thinks we sound like XTC if they had been in a band in the 50s.
Salesman
A unique piece of foot-stomping country wrapped in psychedelic flare and pop pretense. expecting a big year from Salesman.
Sensei Strange
The external art of magic is my passion in expressing the spark of the divine that I feel.
