9- Lunacy Cabaret *Toronto
Wickedly fun, monumentally ridiculous, absurdly eccentric, Lunacy Cabaret is a one of a kind, no holds barred eclectic evening labeled “a low rent, punk rock Cirque du Soleil”. The longest-running circus cabaret in Toronto, Lunacy Cabaret showcases foolish clowns, skilled circus artists, fearless aerialists, uninhibited burlesque dancers, clever sketch and character comedy with silly slappers of the stick! The endless buffoonery is applauded and appreciated by an audience of costumed revellers. It gets weird! See HERE
