Esther's Follies, Comedy theatre in Austin, United States.
Esther's Follies is a theater in downtown Austin that presents musical sketches, satirical comedy, and magic acts on stage. Large windows facing 6th Street allow audiences to see the street activity during the performances.
The theater opened in 1977 and faced a major fire in 1982 that forced it to move between temporary locations. Eventually it found its way to the current location where it has remained.
The shows blend vaudeville-style entertainment with current political humor, letting audiences see how Texas society changes reflected through comedy and music.
Shows take place Thursday through Saturday evenings and last about ninety minutes with a break in the middle. You can buy tickets directly from their website.
The performers use what happens on the street outside and bring it into their acts, creating unexpected moments with people walking by. This turns every show into something different since the world outside becomes part of what happens on stage.
