Bedlam Theatre

Making their mark on the Vaudeville Nouveau movement in America, The
Squirm Burpee Circus is an exhilarating, fantastical adventure featuring classic
Vaudeville comedy, high-skill circus acts and a plot rooted in American Melodrama.Forged in the fire of Denver’s Handsome Little Devils Productions, The Squirm Burpee
Circus is a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience that leaves audience chanting for more.
Featuring an eye-catching cast and a beautiful, Cirque-like aesthetic, The
Squirm Burpee Circus can sustain itself on eye candy alone. But they don’t stop there!
The show explodes with high-energy acts like The Human Cannon, The Ladder of
Love and Chainsaw Juggling, not to mention classic Vaudeville comedy routines,
hilarious romantic antics and swing dancing!
The Baron Vegan von Hamburger, your humble host and sworn enemy of the
Squirm Burpee Circus, will take you on a journey back in time with his breathtaking
Monkey-Powered Circus Wagon. In side the Circus, anything can happen, and the
Baron can’t wait to put an end to it all!
On the other hand, Mike the Handsome and Dashing Dave are two dapper
Vaudevillians and world-class jugglers 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!
