Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

The Taboo Revue is looking for new acts to join the show, and we figured the best way to find the craziest local talent was through our own star search. On Saturday December 18th we’ll be giving away hundreds of dollars in cash and prizes to the best, and worst, burlesque and variety acts in the Taboo Revue’s First Twisted Talent Showcase.

We’re looking for dancers, comedians, jugglers, contortionists, clowns, sword swallowers, freaks, geeks, torture acts and all other types of performers – the crazier, the better. In addition to cash and prizes like tattoo, salon and piercing gift certificates, we will also be looking for acts to join us for upcoming touring and local shows.

The show, taking place at the Astoria, will be hosted by The Taboo Revue’s Bernie Bombay and will follow a Gong Show meets Star Search style. The panel of celebrity judges will include Evil Bastard and Melody Mangler from Gameshow Night as well as some special guests. The night will also feature a performance by Who Cares? and Mr. Plow with their unique brand of acoustic shock rock, as well as The Sinful Sirens Burlesque and an International Competitive Eating Challenge.

Interested performers can sign up by emailing us at info@screamingchicken.net or by calling (604) 779-7782. Registration should be done by Dec. 13 to guarantee entry.
