Patsy Cline

One of the time-honored favorite pieces from the Esthers Follies show is "Patsy Cline". In this clip, Shannon sings "I've got your picture", while producing increasingly surprising things from inside her dress!

Comedy, Music, Magic

Current show includes:

News Medley

Esther’s news mavens musically parody all the hot media items, from the President's take on Global Warming, gas prices, and Homeland Security; Willie Nelson caught with some illegal spinach; the Democratic Party's search for the Perfect Candidate, and Football Madness in the War between the Sexes!

Ray's Magic

Ray Anderson unveils six incredible illusions to titillate the Esther's audiences! In the Aladdin-inspired LAMP, a belly dancer appears magically, mysteriously floats into the rafters and disappears in a dramatic finale. In THE CLAW, Ray reenacts an illusion attempted only once by the late GEORGE (the second greatest magician in the world after Houdini) by handcuffing himself to a steel contraption as a flame burns through a rope suspending a set of jagged teeth perilously above. In his newest illusion, TATTOOED, Ray descends from on high to find himself hypnotized by a wild-haired wizardess, trapped in a contraption with razor-sharp knife blades slicing him into pieces, then magically reunited with his body! Come see how he escapes carnage time and time again, and keeps the audiences laughing!
Governor's Race

Plus

KERRY AWN, multiple winner of Austin Comedy awards, tightens his classic George W. Bush State of the Union Address, and dazzles with his “BUCK HUSKY, CONSUMER WATCHDOG”, a diatribe about Truth in Advertising.
