The Brainwash

Author: kris, Category: Bars and Clubs, Downtown

There’s a city legend claiming every new performance artist — everyone from stand-up comics to musicians to magicians — is obligated to perform at the Brainwash at least once at the beginning of his or her career.

The Brainwash is number two in our fusion series, because in addition to being a locally famous performance venue, it’s also a cafe/laundromat. You can wash your whites while you dazzle the audience with your Jeff Buckley covers. Or come for the show and stay for the Captain, a harmlessly nutty gentleman in a crisp captain’s hat who wanders in and out, greeting everyone present about once an hour.
