Phyzgig Vaudeville Shows

In the grand tradition of vaudeville, we have assembled a line-up of world-class performers from all over the country to entertain you with a unique blend of expert juggling, incredible illusions, mystifying magic, captivating storytelling, and side-splitting physical comedy. All shows are two acts and are accompanied by the Fabulous Lacklusters vaudeville pit band.

Phyzgig Burlesque Show

Reaching back to the origins of vaudeville, we are thrilled to present Phyzgig’s first-ever burlesque show, featuring a hot blend of variety entertainment and sensuous dance numbers by some of Portland’s best-known acts and visiting artists. This show is for adults only.

Phyzkidz Shows

Smaller scale versions of our vaudeville shows in settings that are accessible for the youngest fans. These shows feature 3 performers in shows that run about an hour with no intermission. Great shows for audiences of all ages.
