The Things We Do for Love - A Storytelling Show
Step into an evening where every story is a little love letter to the people, pets, passions, and obsessions that shape our lives. At The Things We Do for Love - A Storytelling Show, you’ll hear real people confess the wild, sweet, silly, and sometimes downright ridiculous things they’ve done in the name of love.
Maybe it’s making that extra bowl of popcorn for someone who swears they don’t want any, driving across town for a dog you saw in a photo, or saying yes to an adventure you never thought you’d try. This show celebrates all of it—the quiet gestures, the bold leaps, and the “I can’t believe I did that” moments that make the best stories.
Expect an evening of heartfelt tales, big laughs, and the kind of “me too” moments that make strangers feel like friends. Grab a seat, settle in, and get ready to think about your own answer to the question: what do you love, and what did you do?
- True, personal stories told live on stage
- Plenty of humor with a side of heart
- Adult themes and language may pop up, so this one’s for grown-ups
- A great night out for fans of storytelling, podcasts, and live shows
The Venue
Step into Barrel O' Fun, a delightful dual-personality venue nestled inside the Alamo Drafthouse Mueller in Austin! By day, this charming space transforms into a kid-friendly wonderland with a vintage boardwalk atmosphere, complete with carnival games, a soda fountain, and rotating youth events perfect for family outings.
As evening approaches, watch the magic happen when the "R-E-L" on the sign mysteriously fritzes out, transforming the space into "Bar O' Fun." The carnival games cleverly fold into the ceiling, revealing 45 craft beer taps and an impressive selection of fine spirits with an emphasis on barrel-aged offerings - a nod to the venue's playful name.
Cocktail enthusiasts will appreciate the soda-fountain themed drink menu and barrel-aged cocktail program created by experienced bar staff. The venue hosts:
- Live music events
- Birthday parties for all ages
- Private events and meetings
Whether you're bringing the kids for afternoon fun or enjoying Austin's vibrant nightlife, this whimsical spot offers the perfect blend of nostalgia and contemporary entertainment.
