ABOUT
Circus Freaks was created by Bay Area native Christopher Childers. Birthed from the desire to showcase the incredible talents of the artists in the Cirque shows, and presented in ways no audiences had ever seen them before.
“Circus Freaks” was a hugely popular, always sold out, late night extravaganza in Las Vegas, which ran for 5 years from the year 2000 to 2004. It featured many performers from Cirque du Soleil’s “O” and Mystere shows, as well as performers from “Folies Bergere” and “Jubilee.” The House of Blues in Las Vegas partnered with Circus Freaks’ Director and Creator, Christopher Childers, and they enjoyed a hugely successful run! Christopher left Las Vegas in 2004 and moved back to his native SF Bay area and he never really thought about the show again. Until, last year!
Christopher brought Circus Freaks back to life, in 2023, and it was once again, a sold out success!
The show was at the SF Foundry and featured not only new and fresh acts from the Cirque shows, but a handful of the original performers from the first 5 years of the show, which was like a family reunion, on the stage! Older, wiser and better than ever, the OG “Freaks” as he calls them, all replied yes, when asked if they would consider re-mounting the show. Christopher knew, while onstage during last years’ show, that this show was indeed, back!
The show this year will run 3 times, November 8th, 9th and 10th at the SF Foundry. The
Foundry has partnered with Christopher this year, and together they will present a new, fresh and unbelievable experience for the audience! The show will feature new acts, as well as some favorites from last year, including Johanna Sapakie and SF local belly dancer extraordinaire, Mr. Juliano Wade!
The show features the original freaks and also features some of the best local talent in the SF Bay!
Circus Freaks features performers of all shapes, sizes and ages ranging from 16 to 84 years young!
