The 24 Carrot Cabaret
2025-06-27 20:00 - 21:30 (America/Chicago) | The Vortex, 2307 MANOR RD., AUSTIN, Texas, 78722
AGES:18+: Multiple shows, see the series for details.
Beloved seekers of the unconventional truth, we call upon you to gather with us beneath the banner of the Cosmic Carrot—a revelation of truth that grows within the darkness of the fertile abyss- a humble root that rises from the earth to nourish us, imbue us with its fertile powers. Join our congregation of clowns- the flametenders of Liberty, Levity and Desire- as we dance beneath the beacon of the absurd carrot, playful yet profound, and bask in the truth that divinity can be found in the most unassuming places. Seeking the strange? Thirsty for Chaos?
ABOUT FOU FOU HA!:
AUSTIN FOU FOU HA! is the Texas branch of San Francisco-based burlesque clown collective Fou Fou Ha!, conceived, led and curated by our mother Maya Culbertson-Lane aka MamaFou
We are a living, breathing spectacle of playful rebellion and subversive joy. We flirt with the uncanny, dance with the shadow, and invite audiences into realms where performance meets personal transformation. Our shows are part ritual, part absurdist joyride, blending camp, chaos, and cabaret into WTF, YES experiences.
Fresh from our sold-out at Kickbutt and Cheer Up Charlie performances, we continue to explore the space where art becomes a playground for curiosity, connection, and collective catharsis.

Fat Ham
2025-06-27 20:00 - 21:30 | Austin Playhouse, 405 W. 22nd St., Austin, TX, 78763
synopsis
This uproariously funny, Pulitzer Prize-winning new play is a modern revamp of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Fat Ham follows Juicy, a queer, pensive, young Black man finding his way in the world when the ghost of his father demands Juicy avenge his murder. Set at the family cookout, this “hilarious yet profound tragedy smothered in comedy” (The New York Times) examines love, loss, and a particular set of daddy issues.
This play is for an adult audience; Children under 11 are not permitted.
Content Advisory: A comedic take on Hamlet, this 2022 Pulitzer Prize–winning play about family drama at a backyard bbq and wedding reception contains frank (and often hilarious) discussions of sex, violence, murder, and adult situations (much like Shakespeare). Due to the mature content in the play, it may be best suited to high school ages and up. Parental discretion is advised.

Les Ballets Trockadero
2025-06-29 19:00 - 22:00 | The Long Center, 701 W. Riverside Dr., Austin, TX, 78704
Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo brings its internationally beloved troupe of male dancers to the Long Center to perform a brilliant combination of skillful pointe work and hilarious parodying of classical ballet favorites like Swan Lake. Founded in New York City in 1974, the company, affectionately known as the Trocks, began by appearing in late-late shows in off-off Broadway lofts for small audiences who appreciated the iconoclastic humor of it all. In the nearly 50 years since then, the company has grown to achieve great appeal among more mainstream audiences who, each season, flock to theaters throughout the world to see these prima ballerinas perform. Revered by ballet aficionados as well as the uninitiated—those who don’t know a plié from a jeté—the Trocks are “a guaranteed hoot for people who know nothing of ballet and an absolute must for those who think they know the originals.” Sydney Star Observer

Dell Hall, 7:00pm.
