It would be P.T. Barnum’s worst nightmare.
If he weren’t so dead.
It’s been called everything from "a circus on acid" to "French burlesque meets Sweeney Todd." Cirque Berzerk's unique flavor of adult psychedelic vaudevillian tomfoolery returns to the Los Angeles State Historic Park. Performances run Thursday, June 18th through Sunday, July 5th, 2009.
Born at Burning Man in 2005 and named one of “L.A.’s 10 Weirdest Events of 2008” by the Los Angeles Times, Cirque Berzerk has tickled the collective innards of L.A. and beyond with a psychotically-tinged sultry show filled with sinewy, breathtaking acrobatics, sensual aerialists, gothic stilt walkers, fetishy burlesque dancers, voluptuous contortionists and a host of punk rock clowns, none of whom know how to make cute balloon animals for the kiddies. "Wholesome family fun" it ain't.
To see why Cirque Berzerk should-in our humble opinion-top your things to do list, feel free to kick around the site for awhile. Get to know us better. We’re glad you’re here. With that said, and without further adieu, welcome and enjoy the show.

Karima, Gideon Conn, and Green Tree Riot have all played at songs for the bathtub out at Fuel, so I can say they're all great. Steve Brown I saw ahile back at Green Room (on the night Slugs played), also good - was Josephine Oniyamam on the same bill too. Will star fighter pilot have the dancing girls in tow though ? That is the question. Good tunes either way. Pretty cracking lineup actually that! And for free too! Ace.
