Featured Performers

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'.

 

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 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

 

Welcome to the bizarre world of SCHAVE & REILLY. Modern-day versions of Vaudeville's baggy-pants comedians. Reminiscent of Laurel and Hardy, these two delightful clowns use an original blend of ridiculous dance, slapstick, and juggling to tell stories of life, love, and jubilation.

 

Polkadots is located at 2826 Rio Grande st (at the intersection of 28 1/2 st and Rio Grande) in a house built in 1908.Our pastry chef graduated from UT with a chemical engineering degree then continued her education at California school of culinary arts and graduated top of her class. 

 

 Toot Sweet is Austin’s newest urban bakery experience. Our oversized gourmet cupcakes are the talk of the town! Our desserts are made with top-quality ingredients including organic and all-natural ingredients.

 

madCakes is a family owned and operated company based in Austin, Texas. It has been a long time dream for us to work together to create unique cakes that appeal to the eyes and taste buds of our customers. Eye-catching, moist, and sinfully delicious cakes that are made from scratch, using quality ingredients are what we strive for. We hope you will agree that these cakes are just that!

Fiddler's Hearth

A family-friendly gathering place for Celtic artists and the public at large, we proudly represent the Seven Celtic Nations with great music, high-quality food and drink, and a relaxing atmosphere. 

Hug Nation

Those pesky oceans keep us from doing the weekly hug physically, so we do it virtually. Thousands of people around the world gather in front of computers to hug themselves and the people around them at a set time. Rather than a shared physical space, it is a shared mental space. Regardless of where you are on Tuesday at 1-pm (PST), you can join the Group Hug.

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.

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.
