We showed up and was a long line to get in but fast service. Show was great but the sodas were AWFUL. I wouldn't suggest anyone to buy non alcoholic drinks.

This place is awesome!! The venue is small and intimate, neat decor and the show is SO funny, unique and entertaining!! If you’re in Nashville, RUN, don’t walk and go see this show!!

On the flip side, a potential consideration is the non-refundable policy, so if your plans change, you’re less flexible.

This show suits adults who enjoy a bit of edginess, acrobatics, and comedy, great for those seeking something lively and different without any young kids in tow.

What Is the Experience Like?

Imagine sitting in the beautifully restored Woolworth Theatre, surrounded by an atmosphere that hints at Nashville’s history. The show begins at 7:00 pm, and once it kicks off, you’re quickly drawn into the quirky world of the Shiner family — moonshiners with secret talents. They gather for a reunion, but what unfolds is anything but ordinary.

Expect plenty of adult comedy paired with awe-inspiring cirque acts—from high-flying aerials to strongmen performing gravity-defying stunts.

The show is about 1.5 hours long, which is a good length to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. The performers are world-class, with reviews praising their acts as both dangerous and impressive.

The show is designed for adults 18+, so you won’t find any kids in the audience, and the humor tends to lean into mature themes.

Bailey c
I loved the acrobatics and the cirque style performances! These are extremely talented people. The actors were great. Overall, I’m glad I went. BUT just so you know- there is definitely a reason this is 18+. The jokes are very sexual in nature and there is very near nudity (both female and male).
Terrell B
Great show I want to go back. The cast engagement with the crowd was an unexpected treat The After party was fun too. It felt like I was in a different city but like always the music was great
Ceara T
The show was too long in my opinion. The acrobatic work was amazing! The people performing are very talented. But the game show part of the show was awkward and didn’t flow well with the rest of the show. The sexual jokes were almost too much too.
