The Shameful Comforts return to Grotto 101
with Music & Mirth for the Summer Solstice
6/20/2026, 7-10pm
Springtime and Summertime, and Spring Again After!
Brand New Songs About Sensitive Subjects, Grand Ol’ Songs About Irish Vampires, Covers & Coveralls, Ancients & Originals; The Shameful Comforts is what happens when a trio of poet-theatre-improv performance-artists make music – mostly acoustic but also stylophone; weird, cozy, folky, filky, alternate-history, sci-fi, horror, fantasy-infused. And they got JOKES. They are Jules Moore, Michael Ferstenfeld, and David Fruchter, three human beings just like you (but different, see) 
As always, audience members are invited to play / sing / read / joke during the Open-Mic Set between our two sets. Sign-ups for the open-mic start slightly before the show, around 6:50pm. Or just send one of us an email / text to secure your slot.
Suggested donations of $5 – $15 are muchly appreciated, as well as your support of the beautiful & oh-so-cozy South Austin Venue, Grotto 101. In fact, it’s SO cozy that we may need to limit attendance to about 30 people, so please RSVP here or at the Zeffy link if you’re planning to attend!
