Vicious Vaudeville - Evil Burlesque Show
"It's not your grandfather's variety show. Vicious Vaudeville is an all out extravaganza that includes some magic, some music and some... stripping."- Village Voice
Vicious Vaudeville is a variety show with an edge. Come by for an unforgetable evening of Burlesque, Sideshow, Magic and Contortion like you have never seen before. Award winning and world record holding performers will dance, tie themselves in knots, take off their clothes, be locked up, risk their lives and insert objects into their orifices ALL FOR YOU!!!

Featuring your host, magician/escape artist/sideshow performer Jared, Pete the human floor, burlesque by Harley and Machete. Plus new acts: boylesque by La JohnJoseph, Comedian Ted Greenberg (David Letterman emmy award winning writer), Musician: Contramano, and human pincushion Charlotte Sometimes! Plus DJ tba.
Be sure not miss this devilish night of magic, illusions and other mind boggling trickery. -Whatsupnyc.com
Vicious Vaudeville's performers are the real deal, not merely nostalgic amateurs — they love the taste of kerosene and cold steel. It's the perfect time to break your New Year's resolutions and wallow in some good old-fashioned sin. -Gary Mak, Flavorpill.com
"A magic show with a little bit of rockabilly spirit and a whole lot of near-nudity"- AM New York
The Members of Vicious Vaudeville:
Jared:
Jared is an escape artist, sideshow performer and a magician. His act is comprised of classic sideshow and magic effects treated with his own twisted spin and unique presentation. With an arsenal of restraints, cards, pointy things, and lollypops (?) he will make you want to close your eyes and watch closer all at the same time!

Pete (The Human Floor):
Pete is one of the strangest performers you will ever see; the ultimate routine of audience participation, he will invite every female in the audience to stand on him. Sounds strange? Well trust me it is one of the most incredible and unforgettable things you will ever see. He has performed for Opie and Anthony's Virus Tour, with Adult Film Star Katie Morgan on HBO and he currently holds the world record for having the most women stand on him, totalling over two-thousand pounds!

Machete:
Machete is a Boston based burlesque dancer, and member of the troupe "The Babes in Boinkland". She has displayed her talents at venues in MA, RI & NY. She opened the show at the first Great Boston Burlesque Expo, is a regular at the Jerkus Circus variety with the Steamy Bohemians, and opened for, and performed onstage with, Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine. Machete’s performance style is “sometimes funny, sometimes evil, but always crazy!”
Harley Dear
Harley Dear is a woman of many talents. After her Grammy-winning album that combined elements of Jazz and the Afterlife, "The Occultrane," Harley ghost-wrote several books about a young boy learning wizardry (Ms. Rowling's lawyers ask the book not be identified). She is also the five time winner of Murray Hill's Miss Galapagazanga Amateur Burlesque, a regular performer at the Duplex, and a resident artist with Luvley Rae's Spice Variety show.
The Human Pincushion
Charlotte Sometimes is not for the faint of heart. The alter ego of Brooklyn multimedia artist Kelly McDermott, Charlotte was born of a love for the storied history of vaudeville and a desire to reach a wider audience. Her most recent adaptation of fine art performance for the stage is a graceful and riveting take on the sideshow staple: The human pincushion act. If you can keep them open- you won't believe your eyes!
La JohnJospeph
Vicious Vaudeville's switches things up with our first ever BOYlesque dancer.
Comedian Ted Greenberg
Ted Greenberg is a New York-based stand-up comic and an Emmy-Award-winning writer formerly with David Letterman. He can be seen performing stand up regularly in New York City at Gotham Comedy Club and the Soho Playhouse.
Musicians Contramano
The sound of Contramano is what happens when third world angst meets New York attitude. Ever-changing dictatorships, A marketplace out of control, Armed guards protecting banks from looters. Could this be the breeding ground for a progressive power-pop/punk trio led by a classically trained cellist? Judging by the music of Pablo Cubarle and Contramano, absolutely.
