INSOMNIA CAFE
JUNE 4th - JUNE14th
8 PM @ STAGE AUSTIN (2511 E 6TH, AUSTIN, TX)
Could they BE any more delusional?
Inside a warped recreation of a sitcom apartment, two obsessive superfans attempt to build a “Friends” fantasy world and kidnap a man they believe is the perfect Chandler Bing. What begins as absurd fandom spirals into a dark, surreal examination of loneliness, media dependency, and the desperate need to belong somewhere, even in captivity.
Part psychological hostage story, part pop-culture fever dream, Insomnia Cafe blends uncomfortable comedy with emotional collapse to explore what happens when television stops being escapism and becomes identity itself.

Word Perv
SUMMER VACATION!
SEASON 3 STARTS THIS SEPTEMBER!
When you hear "Word Perv" what's the first thing that comes to mind? Whatever you're imagining may very well be something that you'll see at Smelt House the first Wednesday of each month.
Word Perv is a storytelling and variety show that explores the dynamic themes of gender and sexuality. You'll see performers and non-performers alike share their personal experiences on how these universal themes have shaped their lives.
A few practical deets about Smelt House:
There is only street parking at the venue so please arrive early to find a spot or ride share!
Smelt House is a bit tucked away - we will have a sign on the sidewalk to direct you!
In case you get a little lost.. the closest street facing business is "Shag Noir Salon". To the left is a gate - walk through the gate and Smelt House is the second (red) door on your right!
The space is limited to 35 people so be sure to get your tickets ahead of time or show up early to get seats at the door!
We will have drinks & swag for purchase!
