Bright eyed and bushy tailed from the back woods, backwards world of Lasqueti Island, comes: LasQuirkus! A troupe of 25 Circus Performers, Musicians and Freaks rolling off the ferry and hitting the streets and Community Halls near you.
Bring out the whole family for a Vaudeville variety show featuring stilters, clowns, jugglers, musical slapstick, storytelling, hula-hoop spinning, dancing marionettes, giant puppets, general merriment and a gorilla... or two?
The night will be hosted by Ring Master & Mistress of Ceremonies: The Infamous Jenny V! A portable live soundtrack will be provided by our house band: The Bolting Brassicas Marching Band. There will be plenty of home-grown acts from the LasQuirkus Circus Works, plus performers from the greater Salish Sea and extra special guests: your friends and neighbours.
Still need more? Dance on into the evening with a live set of west coast, high energy, raw gypsy funk brass music from The Bolting Brassicas Marching Band.
Cap it all of with Lasqueti's dj beatfarmer who will spin up world beats for your dancing pleasure.
Bring the kids, your juggling balls, dance shoes, and a sense of wonder.
Come one, Come all!
Doors Open at 6:30, Show starts at 7pm, Dance to follow.
Tickets available at the door, show night only! Cost 15$ per person. 30$ family rate.

LasQuirkus is an inclusive, do-it-yourself, not for profit, completely volunteer-based event aimed at having good, clean (yet wacky and wild) fun for everyone from toddlers to great-grandparents and everyone in between. Inspired by long-running The New Old Time Chautauqua, we're building our circus skills while inspiring, promoting and bringing together performers, communities and the arts around the Salish Sea.
