Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Cabaret returns to New York in March. When
the Cirkus began in 1995, it set the stage for today's vaudeville and
burlesque revival, and since then has become a legend in the New York
and national performance scene. The Bindlestiffs have featured over
400 variety acts, toured nationally for the past 14 years, and brought
vaudeville back to Times Square.
"The Bindlestiffs are responsible for spawning the whole
neo-vaudeville, independent circus performer trend
evident...throughout Williamsburg and lower Manhattan." —Village
Voice, 1997
The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Winter Cabaret brings together elements
of circus, sideshow, vaudeville, burlesque, and cabaret to provide a
stage for some of the most talented performing artists in the world.
Jugglers, clowns, acrobats, and trapeze artists share the stage with
musicians, magicians, dancers, daredevils, and more. Each show
features a unique combination of acts, but all promise a legendary
lineup of circus feats, sideshow marvels, and world-class
entertainers.
The New York Times said of the BFC Cabaret: "It's
old-fashioned variety entertainment of the sort Ed Sullivan so
astutely scooped up, but with twists."
Every show features Bindlestiff Family Cirkus co-founders Philomena
and Kinko the Clown, along with an amazing lineup of entertainment
legends.
