Don’t be a clown – join the carnival before it leaves town!
The lineup for the evening includes a diverse array of talent:
- Liz Lucarini presents “Not So Pie-ous Pierrot,” a silent film-inspired pantomime set to Sweeney Todd’s “The Worst Pies in London.” Donning a handmade vintage Pierrot costume, Lucarini promises a delicious blend of Broadway and buffoonery.
- The Strange Girlzz, inspired by vintage freak show advertisements, bring a troupe of peculiar performers to the stage. Led by Brittyn Dion Bonham, they’ll explore themes of otherness with a mix of theatricality and commentary.
- Caroline Gayle, known as The Ginger Witch, brings her darker brand of magic to the carnival. A veteran of the Magic Castle and current performer with Company XIV, Gayle will showcase her thrilling roulette routine and daring human blockhead act.
- Anna transforms into “Daisy,” channeling Harley Quinn in a burlesque act complete with confetti, flash paper, and nerf guns. Set to “Sucker for Pain” from the Suicide Squad soundtrack, it promises to be as chaotic as it is alluring.
- Petros The Beast rounds out the evening with a male burlesque act that’s larger than life. Standing at 6’6″ and 380 pounds, Petros brings rookie energy and veteran confidence to a performance set to Bruno Mars’ “Gorilla.”
