YES, IT'S TRUE. Circus Contraption crowns its 10th year with its first full-length production since Grand American Traveling Dime Museum. The SHOW to End All SHOWS presents a traditional American circus as it romps joyfully toward oblivion. featuring Pink Poodle Girls, A Ball-Balancing Seal, A Real Mermaid, and an original music score by the incredible Circus Contraption Band!

The show runs through Sunday July 6th at our new space in Fremont, Seattle, Washington. Get tickets now through Brown Paper Tickets!

READ MORE about The SHOW to End All SHOWS! And for the real scoop, tune in to Lara and Erin's daily podcast about what's happening behind the scenes as we build the SHOW!

But don't just take our word for it. Here's what the critics are saying:

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

"Circus Contraption at its best" - The Stranger

"If we had enough room to write a novella about each act from the Beer Bottle Choir to the Smokin' Pole not to mention the band which accompanied everything, we would. We loved them all that much." - The Seattlest

Are you a circus fan with some time to spare? Then Circus Contraption needs you! We'd love house volunteers to help us run The SHOW to End All SHOWS. See our Community page for details.

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.

The circus has moved from Sand Point to Fremont! Thanks to the generous folks at Theo Chocolate for giving us a new home. (At 3400 Phinney Ave N., 98103, to be exact.)
