About Me

SKEWED CIRCUS CABARET
Welcome to the eclectic dungeon of Skewed Circus, the aficianados of rave cabaret. An integral member of the Komedy Kollective Underground Arts Co-operative family, the certifiable clown princes of ultrachaos guarantee to open minds and reconfigure consciousness through music, arts and circus vibes.
Pass the bouncers, through the doors, and you're part of the interactive nightlife experience, the static electricity of the Skewed Circus All Stars zapping your spine to jelly.
From intimate bars and cosy live music venues through to warehouse parties, prepare yourself for a veritable feast of fun rocket propelled by awe-inspiring stunts and ass-kicking choonz. Action packed by distinctive DJs, live rock, punk, hip hop, electro, drum ’n’ bass, rock, punk, dancers, world music, magic and performance art, the Skewed Circus experience is dangerously addictive.
Wherever possible, choreographed dance artists raise tempos and temperatures, Skewed Circus underground cabaret events showcasing both established acts and wonderful new discoveries. Witness how Yorkshire's fabulously stylistic burlesque troupe Bone Shakers exploded onto the scene on Valentine's Day 2008: -

Innovation is the lifeblood of Skewed Circus. We don't just feature existing forms of choreographed dance in our performances. Plans are afoot to unleash groundbreaking fusion styles, and experimental installations onto the unsuspecting Northern public.
Endowed with a seriously fun underbelly, our revolutionary arts-nightlife crossover concept is tailor-made to reinvigorate the flacid commercial clubbing scene. Jam-packed with visual fireworks, tainted with interactive tomfoolery, and blessed with a wealth of existing and emerging talent, the only predictable feature of a Skewed Circus event, is the minimal entrance fee and the warm welcome that greets you on arrival. With no dress code (fancy dress, welcome!), no cliquish attitude, and a communal spirit of creative inclusivity, whatever music you listen to, whether you're a student, working, or unemployed, come join the Skewed Circus.
As well as our own events, we are always up for collaborations with like-minded collectives. People we have worked with include Manchester's Everything Goes crew and the one and only Bolton party starters - Gash Collective.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Artists, musicians, DJs, bands, stunt performers, face-painters, performance artists, film-makers, and anybody else who wishes to get involved with our subversive cabaret cult, especially people who dislike musical snobbery and love to party. If the vibe is cool, be it punk, house, rock, rap, garage, folk, trance, bhangra, techno, punk, drum and bass, cabaret songs, theatrical balads, accoustic or grime, it needs to be heard.We would also like to meet promoters, venue managers, PR professionals, and other positively-minded people keen to help expand our dreams of universal cabaret inclusivity beyond the narrow confines of tradition.

Skewed circus performances currently take place throughout Yorkshire and Manchester, but when we have enough eager volunteers and benevolent sugar mummies and daddies to carry the pioneering concept far and wide, we will expand throughout the solar system, the milky way, and the outer reaches of the universe, until musical snobbery is no more.

Dive into our whirlpool of eclectic artistic passions and join us while we reject tired and worn cabaret convention, bringing together rock, dance, urban and world music in a living cocktail of vibrant contemporary culture. Skewed Circus isn't a narrow concept just designed to appeal to one demography, sub-culture, scene or social class. True art heightens human consciousness, crossing genres, bridging boundaries, uniting mankind.

Bring forth the clowns, and together we'll freak-out every town!!!
