ROVING DISCO PARTY FT. PARTYBOT AND BIGEYES!
Instead of going where the party is, this party is where the going is! Consisting of a flexible combination of Partybot, Disco Tiger, Two Bigeyes, and/or Two Revolving Disco Heads, this group is a roving disco party that you can't resist. Surrounded by dancing children and adults alike, it is swarmed wherever it has gone so far.
Partybot is an R2D2 inspired robot creature that has a rotating disco head, plays music, sheds laser lights, fog, and bubbles, all powered by battery and movable!
Disco Tiger is an albino disco dancing tiger that wears a battery powered disco ball on a custom made backpack structure that rotates 9 feet above the ground with it's own built in spotlight and laser lights. The roving disco ball backpack can also be worn with any costume underneath to suit your event's theme. We have a full costume department with any costume you can think of.
Two Bigeyes are literally two very large eyeballs that sit one atop each performer's head. They are custom built by the Dusty Flowerpot to light up, blink, look in any direction and with hats that spin on top. They make quite a visual impact anywhere they go.
Two Revolving Disco Heads are two disco balls of 20 inch diameter that have been made by the DFC into headpieces that rotate on top of the performer's head while also allowing the performer to see at all times. A very impressive feat of engineering that we have not seen elsewhere in the world, these characters work really well flanking a stage as humourous bodyguards, or as go go dancers, or can be sent out as a single roving performer outfitted in full sequins.
Cheers!

Call Me CC, A Comedy Starring Climate Change Live and in Person!
The Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret presents a new play by Kat Single-Dain. "CALL ME CC" is a comedy starring the decline of human civilization itself. This is your chance to meet Climate Change itself, live and in person! You might regret it. But we all have to face Climate Change eventually, so may as well buy a ticket now. Finally in a form that we can relate to, CC is equal parts charming and disgusting, graceful and garish, irresistibly fun and coldly egotistical. A ‘serious comedy’, the underlying narrative of the show—humanity’s own real narrative-- is gravely serious while the show itself is an absolute ball. Never didactic or depressing, CC charms us all into thinking about her a little bit more....And deftly proves that she alone deserves the spotlight.
Song lyrics written by Patrick Kearns
Starring Kat Single-Dain and Patrick Dubois

THE MYRTLE FAMILY BAND
The Myrtle Family Band engage and delight audiences of all ages with their porch stompin’, wash-tub bass bouncing jug-time traditionalish jazz, their twinkling-tap numbers and their on-stage family dynamic-antics!
Through their songs and shenanigans the Myrtle Family play with a yearning for a simpler time, the value of a good porch and connection with family and community. Though they are earnest, endearing and not always explicit; their songs and banter often refer to adult subject matter such as booze, stealing and sex. (Just saying.)
The Myrtles come with a variety of characters who are available to host stages, conduct interactive audience ice-breakers, and facilitate workshops from tap and swing dancing, clowning and improv and/or individual dance/clown pieces for collaborative cabarets.
MYRTLE SISTERS: OUT OF TIME
We are both a wacky band that does regular music sets and a theater show. Out of Time is our 60-minute kids' show on stage!
DUSTY
A band with dancers. Musical theatre encapsulated in a band show!
BALKAN SHMALKAN
A 17-piece brass band that will blow your
socks off.
