Buy a CD Now booking for December 2008! Circus Contraption is teaming up with A Moveable Feast to create a unique and memorable way to celebrate the holidays with your office. See our Booking page for details.

See a show. Gawk. Listen. Buy a CD. Read reviews. Spout off. Play. Donate. Volunteer. Get directions.

A show, you say? It's true. The Moisture Festival has kindly invited Circus Contraption to perform the 10:30pm show on Friday, March 19th.

We may be slumbering. But the soundtrack for The SHOW to End All SHOWS is coming sometime in early 2010. Stay tuned...

The SHOW is over. Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers and audience members who made this run, especially the last few nights, so successful and memorable. It's been good to know ya.

Want to learn more? You can see some photos, or read more about it, or even listen to Lara and Erin's podcast describing the creation of the show. For full details, Check our Events page.

Praise from the critics:

"A fantastic and demented evening of entertainment" - Seattle Weekly

"Circus Contraption at its best" - The Stranger

"Old-school circus champagne on a beer budget... It's in the second act that we are reminded of what, once light shines on the darker recesses, often scuttles out... The band blasts its own jazz epitaph like a defiant shriek... Circus Contraption manages to turn decline into its own artistic ascent." - Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Prepare yourself for a brand-new dose of our peculiar brand of musical insanity. Our fourth CD, The Half-Wit's Descent, is waiting for you! Immerse yourself in tales of narcissistic crooners, lascivious hussies, Coney Island sideshows, and parading pink pachyderms. Check the indie record stores in Seattle, or buy it now on CD Baby. (CD Baby even offers instant gratification if you want to download it digitally and skip the physical CD.)

Listen to Track #1 right now: We're All Mad.

Here's what the critics said about our last show, Circus Contraption's Grand American Traveling Dime Museum:

"Chances to see shows this fun come along rarely at best" - nytheatre.com

"An impressive array of talent, discipline and ingenuity" - Seattle P-I

"Unpredictable, almost unimaginable delight" - The Stranger

"Great finesse" - San Francisco Weekly
