Fans of "Drunk History" and all its slurred education will fall over laughing at "Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare", which combines an entirely serious Shakespeare play with one completely inebriated cast member. For the last six years, "Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare" has been performed in the darkest corners and diviest bars in the U.K., and the cast is bringing the good time to Austin. Side-splitting, raucous and completely interactive, the show is fresh off sell-out runs at the Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe festivals, where a cast member drinks beer, wine and whiskey on stage, drunkenly sings the "Dawson's Creek" theme song and occasionally (accidentally, of course) bares a nipple or two. Brush up on your Bard knowledge, and head down to Spider House for "Much Ado About Nothing", because this is Shakespeare as you never knew you wanted to see him before. [less-]

The ninth season of "RuPaul's Drag Race" is a wrap, so now's your chance to have a royal audience with the latest bevy of queens. The "War on the Catwalk" tour has hit the road, and your faves will be lighting up the stage at the Paramount Theatre. The show is jam-packed with incredible acts, shining a spotlight on this season's bald, bold and brainy winner, Sasha Velour. You may have only seen her lip-sync once -- during the season finale -- but that fierce, fashion-forward performance surely left you yearning for more. Finalist Trinity Taylor hosts the festivities, and contenders Shea Coulee, Farrah Moan, Aja and Alexis Michelle round out the bill on this stop in Austin. [less-]

The theme may be throwback, but this cutting-edge indoor bash at Austin's The North Door features the latest in 21st-century party technology. You've got a trio of live DJs, spinning three different '80s and '90s dance mixes, which you can access via your free-to-use wireless headphones. The volume's adjustable, so you can go as loud or as mellow as you like, and each set features LED lights, so you'll know which channel the partier next to you is grooving to. Costumes from the music, movies and TV of the era -- think "Miami Vice" and The Spice Girls -- are encouraged for this shindig, and glow-in-the-dark favors are included. [less-]

You might not have heard about the hottest new nightlife trend out of NYC -- especially since it involves keeping the sounds to yourself -- but it's called Quiet Clubbing, and it's now in Austin at The North Door. This cutting-edge party offers three live DJs, each spinning a different mix, which you can access via your free-to-rent wireless headphones. Choose from Top 40/EDM, hip-hop/R&B or '80s/'90s/2000s throwbacks, and switch between channels at any time. The volume's adjustable, too, so you can go as loud or as mellow as you like, and each set features LED lights, so you'll know which channel the cutie next to you just picked. The North Door is an ideal setting for this event -- it features three bars, an in-house pizza kitchen and a 25-foot HD projection wall. [less-]
