Carnival Wagon Presentations

Performances and Magical Wierdness!

Tarot and Oracular Body Painting

Dancing and Hobnobbing

The Wesley Morgan

Wesley preforms a dark blend of broken down blues, junkyard Americana, and gritty country with lyrics that dwell on the darker side of creation. He calls this style of musci "Swamp Noir."

Tom Jonesing

For 9 years Tom Jonesing was a 10 piece juggernaut that sported a horn section, 3 backup singers, & a number of unlicensed & extremely dangerous go-go dancers.

Now, they’re a duo of piano & voice; still playing the music of Tom Jones with a few of their own musical ideas thrown in for the sake of artistic confusion.

DJ Fact.50

DJ Fact.50 plays lots of different genres with an emphasis on atmospheric and Old World beats.
His current obsession is Electronic versions of classic old world music genres such as Swing, Hot-Jazz, Tango, Ragtime, Cabaret, Neo-Classical, & many others.

IfnWhendy

She’s been shakin’ & shimmyin’ her way around the Bay Area for about 4 years now. She got her start under the tutelage of the epic Bombshell Betty. In the not-so-distant past she was the shyest of all the wallflowers. Well she peeled herself right off that wall for your libidinous pleasure. You’re welcome.

The Fossettes

The Fossettes are the fusion of a succubus, an Amazon priestess, and a pair of red-headed sirens. They have come together to channel the inspiring work of those who have come and passed before them, in particular the vision of Bob Fosse, from whom the group lovingly derives its name.

The Indra

The Indra is an international performance artist who travels across the globe to spread her unique brand of comedy. Her signature acts include performing bizarre monologues over song, he/she characters, & stripping out of gorilla costumes.

OPTIONAL DRESS: Mystic Carny, Boho Bozo & MIDWAY ARCHETYPES! (Mr Nobody, The Blue Mystic, Swami, Rosa Mystica, Harlequin, the Crazy Hobo, the Old Carny, The Professor, Mysterious Baghead Guy…)

 

What the heck is a Mythic Midway Pop-Up Carnival?
Scott Levkoff, co-founder of Kinky Salon & Mission Control and founder of the Mystic Midway explains:

"The Pop-Up Carnival is a bicycle-powered, traveling motley carnival that pops up in random locations throughout the city.
We will engage & (absorb & transform) audiences as we moves through the City.
The Pop-Up Carnival is set in the STRANGE WORLD of The Mystic Midway.
This is your invitation to step into a MAGICAL REALITY and bring to life mystical ‘rides and attractions’ and fantastical characters designed to befuddle, challenge and INSPIRE! "
