Horror Remix Dallas
Horror Remix is what you get when you mix forgotten horror classics and puppets with snarky commentary. Fans of obscure horror films, this event is for you. Horror Remix is a semi-regular event at Studio Movie Grill (or at Alamo Draft house if you happen to be unfortunate enough to live outside the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex) that takes forgotten horror classics and slices them down to a power-packed themed anthology. If you enjoy the horror comedy genre or movies that are so bad that they’re unintentionally […]
Free things to do in DFW: Comedy and laughter
Getting a good laugh usually involves seeing some comedian in town from LA (because let’s face it, they all flock to Tinseltown), buying a ticket and a two drink purchase minimum on the night-of. It is, however, a little known fact that A) there is free comedy to see in this city and B) there are scores of funny people locally sourced from our very own DFW. Here are some of DFW’s best free ways to laugh so hard your […]
Check out our first episode on the Dallas Comedy House
Today we are kicking off our new show. A little webisode. Vlog. YouTube thing. I don’t know what to call it. But I know you need to check it out. I am really proud of it. In our first episode we go to The Dallas Comedy House and visit with Amanda Austin, the owner. We also get to sit in on the opening improv skit. Keep in mind they are making that up as they go. So each show is […]
Dallas End of the World Guide
It’s the end of the world as we know it, or more accurately it’s the apocalypse according to the Mayan calendar. Even though we don’t know any Mayans personally, we are more inclined to believe them than Harold Camping. To help you prepare for Doomsday in Dallas, we’ve made a list. Visit the Dallas Arboretum. Look at the lush greenery. Take pictures. Chances are people won’t have much time for gardening in the post apocalyptic world. Enjoy it while you […]
Drag Queen Shows in Dallas
RuPaul’s Drag Race has nothing to do with automobiles or motorcycles. The drag they’re talking about comes from the days of Shakespearean plays when all the actors were men. Female parts were played by young men. During the practices and performances, notations of “Dr.A.G.” meaning “Dressed As Girl”, were frequently made on the manuscripts when a male was to play a female part dressed as a female. Now a days, drag is a gender illusion art form all of it’s […]
THE PERFECT WEEKEND, LABOR DAY EDITION
What better way to sum up summer than with the perfect weekend? Before everybody gets back to the daily grind and stops wearing white as fall sets in (at least in spirit, if not in temperature), here is your perfect end-of-summer weekend. Friday. Labor Day weekend is the last official weekend of Restaurant Week (which really ends up being more like Restaurant Three Weeks). A healthy handful of restaurants are still donning their $35 prix fixe menus through September 2 and donating […]
DOUG BENSON IS AMERICA’S FUNNIEST STONER AND IS COMING TO DALLAS
Stop what you are doing and get your tickets here now because this show will definitely sell out. If the name Doug Benson doesn’t ring a bell it is probably because you don’t watch Comedy Central or the show The Benson Interruption. Doug has also done a mockumentary called Super High Me in which he tries 30 days free of pot and 30 days of non stop pot use. The idea, obviously, is a spin on Morgan Surlock’s Super Size […]
Val Kilmer Waxes Poetic in “Citizen Twain”
In Citizen Twain, a new one-man show written by and starring Val Kilmer, Mr. Kilmer invokes the spirit of Mark Twain to “preach” on the character of America. He takes us through Twain’s biography, his experience as a dead man, his relationship with God, and finally Twain’s America. The nonlinear storytelling which Kilmer employs is chock full of anachronisms and critiques of our present day America. And it works brilliantly. Anyone who has read Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn can agree that Twain […]
