Kick off the first Monday of every month with improv and a beer at Fonta Flora!

Queen City Comedy brings Fake Adults and a rotating guest team to Fonta Flora for a night of completely made-up comedy.

No scripts. Just audience suggestions, big characters, ridiculous situations and plenty of laughs.

Grab a beer, find a seat and hang out with us. The show is FREE — a pretty great cure for a case of the Mondays.

Our favorite annual tradition returns to The Galleries October 30 to February 20, 2027. Clay brings together the work of contemporary potters from across the USA, featuring everything from everyday mugs and plates to stunning vases and sculptures. And yes, it’s all for sale!

Whether you’re hunting for the perfect holiday gift, adding to your collection, or just exploring the rich roots of North Carolina pottery, you’ll find it here.

Opening Reception: October 31 from 1:00-3:00 pm
