Phyzgig celebrates a grand vaudeville tradition that dates back hundreds of years The physical comedy festival began with a series of performances of Avner the Eccentric in 1997. During the next few years, the festival expanded to the point where it now offers Portland audiences a great opportunity to chase away post-holiday blues with a family-oriented week of music and magic, mirth and mayhem. Each performance is a mini-festival unto itself, showcasing the work of three to seven vaudeville entertainers. Phyzgig is presented by Acorn Productions, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
