Jerkus Circus, also known as "Jerk du Soleil," is America's most
delinquent traveling circus: a campy cabaret show that will steal your
heart - and your identity, to download porn. Called "haute vaudeville"
by the Boston Phoenix, and named "Best Nouvelle Vaudeville" in their
Best of 2009 readers poll, Jerkus Circus has an irreverent and
individualistic charm. Founded in 2005, the show is widely considered
to have pioneered the current NeoVaudeville movement in Boston.

Since its inception in 2005,
It's traveled through Boston, New York, Providence, and Worcester.
Featuring wildly diverse performance artists, uniquely hilarious
comedic acts, pasties, drug references, and all your favorite swear
words. Created, produced, and hosted by The Steamy Bohemians. Watch us
channel the gods of chaos! Our struggle will seem effortless. What
song will Lainey forget how to play? What will Niki pull out of her
boobs? There's only one way to find out. Come see hilarious comedians,
scary weirdos, sexy dancing, and fabulous music.

What people are saying about Jerkus Circus:

"Oddball sexuality and a slaphappy caboodle of raw talent makes JERKUS
CIRCUS a fantasyland for creepster hipsters, horny carnies, art fags,
fart hags, and connoisseurs of real-deal performance art that's fueled
by a few puffs on a unicorn bong. The Steamy Bohemians' bi-curious
variety show has featured the sweet cream of Boston's artistic crop."

category

"Good ole fashion vaudeville acts are a mighty rare occurrence, with
the city's highfalutin' intelligentsia demanding more than just a
simple tambourine dance, some blackface and a performance of the song
"Uncle Grunty's Shoeless Jig. Let's just say that in the revolutions
of art there comes a time for renaissance, when the avant-garde
becomes too much and we must once again return to the core of what is
known as pureor as they say"make it new." Friday sees the consummate
rebirth of entertainment variety as The Lizard Lounge in Cambridge
gives host to Jerkus Circus, a freewheeling whirlwind of freaks,
feminism and fart-jokes hosted by hometown heroes The Steamy
Bohemians. Offensive? Low-brow? Sultry, salacious and scatological?
You bet your bottom dollar. It's been known to intrude on one's
deepest reserves of sexual inhibition, blow a hole in the side of the
tank and let flow all the milky goodness of hedonistic indulgence that
a human can possibly expunge in one evening. Half-naked ladies with
classically trained soprano voices singing songs about kissing cousins
and bastard children all the while pulling strange things out from
between their breasts? Done and done. Welcome to the new vaudeville."
