A steamy, circus-driven variety show. Hugely artistic. Darkly sexy. Hilarious and outrageous. Colorful. Bawdy. Naughty. And always unpredictable. Its the 8th Circus Freaks show! Circus Freaks was born during Creator Christopher Childers’ time working with Cirque du Soleil. He designed it to highlight crossover talent: Aerialists who could sing, dancers who could perform aerial skills, contortionists that were ballet dancers, and acrobats who could do pretty much everything!
This is a fund raiser for ALS Nevada. Tickets for sale online and there might or might not be any available at the door. The show show leans toward adults.
