VARIETEASE CABARET Comes to Imago

The Varietease Cabaret presents accomplished variety arts entertainers in a format echoing that of the American vaudeville houses of yesteryear. Fitted with a live band, master of ceremonies, and some of the most entertaining variety entertainers in the business, no two evenings are ever alike. Many of our artists have spent years gracing the stages of Cirque du Soleil, Ringling Brothers, and the big tops and variety arts houses of Europe.

Performers include: Charlie Brown (MC), Cory Sylvester (German Wheel), Jolene Dickerson (Aerial Artist), Jon Dutch, Zelah (Poi), Patricia Charms, Michael O'Neil, Omri & Paulina (Aerial Artists), Patrick McGuire (juggler), live music by Courtney Von Drehle & Friends, DJ NADA DJ (nOahVeiL)

Charlie Brown
Charlie Brown is one of the finest cigar box jugglers in the world. And that's just the beginning for this consummate professional. Whether it's blazing torches, balls, tophats, broadswords or tossing machetes on his double high teeter-board, Charlie delivers!

Jon Dutch

Cory Sylvester
Cory went to see Cirque du Soleil's "Quidam," where he witnessed a warrior- in his eyes, move and manipulate the German Wheel around the stage. Filled with inspiration, what at first was a small spark now was fueled and the flame was ignited. He cried for twenty minutes when Cirque du Soleil called him to offer him the solo German Wheel act in the now ten years old "Quidam."

Jolene Dickerson
For the past 10 years, aerial has taken over Jolene's world. She has worked with many troupes, DJs, festivals, and circuses around the world and continues to keep the flame alive by creating up new and innovative ideas.

Patricia Charms
Patricia began stilt walking four years ago when she joined the Sci-Fidelic circus metal band Super Geek League as a character performer, and has been delighting audiences at nine feet tall ever since. Her tantalizing performance is featured at Dante's Sinferno Cabaret, listed by Burlesque Magazine as one of the Top 10 Burlesque shows in the USA.
