"Very clever!" — Jay Leno, The Tonight show
The Squirm Burpee Circus is an exhilarating, fantastical adventure featuring classic
Vaudeville comedy, high-skill circus acts and a plot rooted in American melodrama.
The show explodes with high-energy comedic acts like The Human Cannon, The Ladder of Love and Chainsaw Juggling, and has all the elements of the classic Vaudeville comedy routines: hilarious romantic antics, juggling, high-wire walking, fast paced one-liners and even swing dancing — all with a plot you won't believe, bad puns and funny visual antics!
Join Mike the Handsome and Dashing Dave, two dapper Vaudevillians and world-class jugglers, who are trying to put on a show, despite their unique girl problems. Dave falls in love with a new audience member every show, while Mike has forsworn love altogether! Add the Mike-obsessed Lovely Little Lolo to the mix, and you've got a recipe for romantic disaster!
Together, Dave and Mike evoke the brotherly comedy of the Smothers Brothers, Martin and Lewis and the like, while Mike and Lolo's hilarious antics are reminiscent of I Love Lucy.
Throughout the show, the evil Baron Vegan von Hamburger is plotting to destroy them, and it will take a real change of heart for him to let the Circus go! Will Dave ever find his One True Love? Will Lolo win Mike's heart? Will the Baron succeed and obliterate them once and for all? When the show begins, you’ll wish you brought your bedpans!
