The Ruckus Revival: Forbidden Fantasy! Thurs 3/14

Start: Thursday, March 14, 2024 8:00PM
End: Thursday, March 14, 2024 11:00PM

The legendary variety show returns! Join us for a raucous night of uncensored circus, stand up comedy, burlesque, pole performance, freestyle rap battles, aerial, beat-boxing, slam poetry, jaw-dropping sideshow, break-dancing, dirty haiku bouts and audience-interactive mayhem in a fast paced night of unfiltered entertainment!

Our Forbidden Fantasy theme roars to life, where we celebrate all kingdoms of imagination and go on a wild ride into wonderland! Gollum does burlesque, Harry Potter freestyle raps, the Mother of Dragons shows us why she's queen and you can roll for initiative at what the East Bay Express calls "the most consistently spectacular event Oakland has ever seen!"

The winner of multiple "Best of the Bay" awards, the SF Chronicle calls Ruckus "a dazzling, inspiring and celebratory display of talent" and "a tent revival for misfits and freaks, those whose artistry or spectatorship has a homespun bent and a bandit streak." Every show features an all new lineup, and both the freestyle rap battle and slam are open for anyone to sign up and compete for $400 in cash prizes, judged by the audience! "Ruckus is not only a space to create art that is sexy, irreverent, edgy, and absurd but also a space to create art that is raw, emotive, intense." -K.Shibata
