What:
Join The Accidental Circus for an evening of Darwinism in Action and luscious cabaret. Making collaborative mayhem since 2002, these travelers are reuniting on tour in July 2010 and January of 2011. This show promises danger, humor, beauty, song, progressive political humor, and weird social commentary—and all in just one act!

Ringleader and juggler extraordinaire Paolo Garbanzo is the first American ever to become the jester of a European castle. He tours Europe and the US, presenting his original comedic material in three languages. Historical, hysterical, satirical, and interactive, this multi-skilled Renaissance man leads the circus as Benevolent Dictator for Life.

Mab Just Mab, DC's Sideshow Girl, combines artistry and pain to create hilarious and compelling entertainment. A glasswalker, blockhead, escape artist, and ukulele fanatic, she is a tenured freak at DC's notorious sideshow venue and museum, The Palace of Wonders. Mab has been featured in several documentaries and books on the sideshow revival, and performs solo, with the Accidental Circus, and with the Cheeky Monkey Sideshow.

The Mezmer Society demonstrates to the general public that, after a 60 year hiatus, it is once more permissible to dance to an accordion. Hard-riding highwaymen of mayhem, they preach the Mezmer gospel throughout the States. Debaucherous bellydance, unpredictability, torchsongs, and sinister accordion playing are blended at high speed into a tall, cool, glass of delicious intoxication. Great for geeks, goths, and anyone who likes to sport a sombrero on national holidays.

Sidetracked is a two-woman team from Philadelphia that entices the crowd with high-integrity, rapid-fire, comedic storytelling. They bring their considerable presence to bear on any audience, rejuvenating the classic Vaudeville genre with contemporary subject matter and sensibility.

Dazzle your loved ones... Invite your enemies because, well, when 5 knives are in the air, accidents can happen. After all, we are the Accidental Circus.
