Walt Whitman Birthday Party

June 1 | Brazos Bookstore

How do you follow a summer of Jane Austen and Herman Melville programming? The 200th anniversary of poet Walt Whitman makes it a no-brainer, and Brazos Bookstore is pulling out all the stops with a summer series of scavenger hunts, poetry readings, parties, film screenings, and more. Saturday's birthday party brings champagne and "a durational reading of Leaves of Grass."

Free. Brazos Bookstore, 2421 Bissonnet St. 713-523-0701. More info at brazosbookstore.com.

Hannah Gadsby: Douglas

June 2 | Jones Hall

After a summer of near-universal praise (and pointed dissent) for her 2018 Netflix comedy special Nanette, Gadsby returns to the stage with a decidedly conventional routine. Don't worry, though—toxic masculinity will still be on full blast. 

Tickets from $44.75. Jones Hall, 615 Louisiana St. 713-227-4772. More info and tickets at spahouston.org.
