3.Adult Comedy Show & Cirque-Style Performance at Woolworth Theatre

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 119 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $75

At Nashville’s historic Woolworth Theatre, you’ll meet the rowdy Shiner family during a 90-minute adult show of comedy, aerial stunts, strongmen, audience games, and cirque-style acts. Expect sexual humor, near nudity, cocktails, and lively crowd interaction at the 7:30 pm performance.

“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.”

5.The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Dinner Show – Franklin, TN

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 35 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $95

At The Dinner Detective in Franklin, you eat a four-course dinner while costumed detectives and undercover actors stage a present-day murder in real time. Question other diners, follow table clues, and name the culprit before the Top Sleuth prize is awarded. English, business casual, age 15 and up.

“Communication between customer and Viator was terrible. Upon arrival we learned there was a choice of entrees. We had no prior knowledge of this. The “murder” story was confusing. The guests at our table were unsure of what clues we were trying to solve, and we were not given enough time to explore the clues. In the end, it was a wild guess made by all in trying to solve the crime. The murderer was obvious, but the clues and script did not lead you to the murderer’s motive. It was still a fun evening, but I would not go again.”

“Gil Grand has the rich dreamy voice that captures the history of our greatest country artists. He tells and sings their stories with charisma, heart and soul. Skip the downtown madness and hear what it means to “be country” at one of his shows. He is talented beyond the overproduced pop-country. And it’s a fun show to add to your travels or local entertainment.”
