There's a pretty fun show at Dante's tomorrow night for only $5 called Sideshow Speakeasy. It will have Mister Creature of Wanderlust Circus and Barnaby Bear from the video above, plus many other performers. If you haven't had the pleasure to enjoy the acrobats and interesting performers in a show liek this, I highly recommend it. Most times, you can't see these people for less than $20. Plus, I can't think of a much better event for a Wednesday night.
