The BINDLESTIFF FAMILY CIRKUS presents KINKO for PRESIDENT

Fleisher Art Memorial
Philadelphia, PA


As the 2008 presidential election draws near, the American people demand a new kind of leader. With Kinko for President, the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus offers the big-top solution!

Kinko the Clown stands for change spare change. He's willing to do whatever it takes to bamboozle the public. And when it comes to throwing his hat in the ring, Kinko can't be beat  from hat tricks to juggling hats, this clown is your candidate!

Bindlestiff Family Cirkus's newest production is a full-force spectacle, where the circus meets the media circus, sideshow marvels meet campaign carnivals, and the audience meets one of this country's oldest traditions  the variety arts. Like all political campaigns, Kinko's campaign will include sleight of hand, tightrope acts, death-defying feats, slapstick comedy, and more.

It's time to put a real clown in the White House  Kinko for President!

The Kinko campaign will be in Philadelphia to stump for votes on Thursday, 11 September 2008! The Samuel Fleisher Art Memorial in South Philadelphia will play host to this cavalcade of mirth, whimsy and chicanery.

Joining Kinko to help drive home his message will be his crack political team: Ringmistress Philomena, queen of the wire Ariele Ebacher, and spinmeister Adam Kuchler.

It will be a stellar night of classic variety that promises something for everyone: circus, sideshow, vaudeville and burlesque presented in unique Bindlestiff style.
