Meet the cast of Atomic Vaudeville: FUN HOUSE!

⚛️ Claire Diamant 🤡

Claire believes that we are in a lack-of-saying-Bless-You-epidemic. She encourages you to bless your neighbour when they sneeze to keep evil at bay. When not performing, Claire can be found under a nondescript bridge asking you to solve her riddles three, or to fill out a reCAPTCHA.

⚛️ Tony Adams 🤡

Tony could die tomorrow, so appreciate them while they’re still here.

⚛️ Tasha Cadence 🤡

Tasha is an MC, Clown, Singer and Arts Advocate in Victoria BC. After 7 years of performing and collaborating within the local community, she founded the Totally Together Collective in 2025, a production house trying to bring people together through playful creativity. She is the lead singer of jazz/funk group The Phigs, a co-creator of Victori'Us Arts Advocacy group and works hard to keep Victoria a sustainable and vibrant community for artists.

⚛️ John G. Boehme 🤡

Victoria-based performance artist, educator, and cultural provocateurJohn G. Boehme transforms everyday absurdities into surprising moments of humour, risk, and a touch of the outré. With over 30+ yrs performing worldwide, including in public spaces, he now joins Atomic Vaudeville’s FUNHOUSE, where performance art and theatrical chaos collide and the line between the ridiculous and the sublime is playfully blurred.

FUN HOUSE rehearsals are in full swing! What are they building in there...?

We do this 5 nights a week in Chinatown, and we take it all home with us. We do it to make energizing, prescient, vital theatre. We do it for the love, yet here we all are, labouring under capitalism.

If you want to support this ragtag group of Vaudevillians, and if you have the means, drop some pennies in our hat by donating to the FUN HOUSE Artist Wage Fund. We're raising $7000 to increase artist wages, and thanks to you, we're 28% of the way there!

💸🖤 https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/atomic-vaudeville-halloween-fundraiser

Buy a ticket, tell a friend, sign up for a volunteer shift. However you show up, we see you. Thanks for being on this journey with us.

THE FUN NEVER ENDS!

We’re raising $7,000 to increase artist wages for FUN HOUSE.

Help us make something strange, ambitious and gloriously alive this Halloween, while putting more money directly into the hands of the artists making it.

Every dollar donated goes directly toward increasing what we can pay the performers, musicians, designers, technicians and creators making our Halloween spectacular.

Every donation, big, small or suspiciously specific, helps.

GIVE TO THE WEIRD!

Some behind-the-scenes moments from HOT HORSE DIRTY SNAKE, our spring cabaret at Fellowship Hall.

This Halloween, FUN HOUSE takes over as we once again build a theatrical world inside a gymnasium, bringing together a huge ensemble of performers, musicians, designers, technicians, and creators to make theatre for collective aliveness.

This year, we’re doing it without a project grant we’ve often been fortunate enough to receive. And as the cost of making theatre continues to rise, we’re asking our community to help make sure the artists creating that aliveness get paid more.

🖤 Donate to the Artist Wage Fund
🎃 Come to FUN HOUSE
👻 Bring your friends!

RAISE HELL. RAISE WAGES.

A clown showcase in its wildest form: bold, bizarre and gloriously unhinged.

Atomic Vaudeville’s Clown School unleashes a lineup of fresh performers with brand-new acts: still forming, still failing, still wobbling on their strange little legs.

Expect experiments. Glitches. Delightful disasters. Accidental genius. Moments that collapse… and then land harder than they should.

Part laboratory. Part playground. Part beautiful trainwreck.

Come for the absurdity. Stay for the anarchy. Witness clown chaos being born in real time.

Hosted by Britt Small.
