Back By Popular Demand!

That's right folks, we thought it was the end of the 2009 season for The Show Must Go on and Professor Antfarmoffski's Flea Circus, but you wouldn't let us go :) So bowing to pressure from our gorgeous and fragrant public, Osprey beat us all on the soles of our feet until we agreed to come out of retirment once more, and what a show we put on! We were packed out for the 2pm showing (nearly 30 in the audience!) and had a fair few for the 2:50pm show and everyone had a great time. A huge thanks for your support guys!












p.s. This was Kumi Kuhr's first show with us too! Welcome to the looney bin, Kumi! :-D

10 October! Performances!

Popular demand would not let this show shuffle off to the Old Act's Home and because of the threats we have received (just threats - no bribes!) we are bringing this show back for 2 days only - the first is Saturday 10th October with acts at 2pm & 2:50pm (SLT) and the second... well the second is a surprise ;-) Keep reading this blog for more info!

In the meantime, come and see the very-nearly-last show EVER!

Laddles and Gentlebumps: Introducing The Lindenburg!

If you've seen the 2009 show, you'll have been on the amazing flying theatre airship built by Osprey - well now, thanks to Karuna Sands, it has a name...

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to The Lindenburg!

The 2009 Season Nears its End!

The Show Must Go On… but not for much longer!

I’m sorry to say folks that we are nearing the end of the 2009 show season *pauses for wiling, weeping, teeth gnashing and chest beating to stop* and you only have a few more opportunities to a) see us and b) book us!

The next two shows are 5th September and 12th September and we have no more planned after that. Now I’m sure we will do some more, but as we also need to film all the acts from this and last year, I don’t think we’ll do many more.

So if you want to see our amazing flea circus and comedy and dance and song show, come along on Saturday 5th September and/or Saturday 12th September.

And if you want to book us, then contact Osprey Therian in-world ASAP. I’d hazard a guess that if you haven’t booked us by the end of September, we may well be full up for the rest of the year filming.

As always, a HUGE thank you to you all for coming and supporting our work – we do it for the fun, nothing more and nothing less and without an audience, it ain’t no fun :-D

Oh, and on a final note, if you think you have an act or talent you’d like to bring to the troupe and if you think you’d like to stand up on stage and make countless people laugh and wOOt! in 2010 then drop Osprey a line – we are always looking for new blood you know :)

Saturday Show

The show season is winding down - better come see if you haven't already.

Come one, come all!

At The Airship Theatre in Phobos.

Show Date: Saturday 29th August 2009 at 2pm in Phobos

Roll up! Roll up!

Following a summer holiday break, the players of the greatest (silliest) show on the grid are delighted to announce that they are returning to the stage once for more for the autumn season of shows in the 2009 season.

Come to the Sky Theatre in Phobos this Saturday for 2pm (come early for a seat) and catch the latest performance of The Show Must Go On!

Shows & Rumours! Oh My!

The TSMGO camp has been quiet these past few weeks - Burroboy has been on holiday (and indeed still is - I should know, as I type this I'm looking out of a window at Vancouver and I am him!) and both Osprey & Enjah have had busticated 'pooters :(

But all is nearly back to normal - the comps are fixed and the team are practicing new acts. Once the lazy Burro is back in Blighty expect some shows here and there and I've even heard a rumour that Osprey will be making films of all the acts from the last two years!

More news as I hear it, news fans! Until then keep checking back and come and see us real soon :)

A great show in Berin!

Thanks to everyone in the 1920s Berlin Project for such a warm welcome - the reduced troupe had a blast with our smaller-than-normal show in the beautiful surroundings of pre-war Berlin. Here are some shots from the show :)











There are some more shots here.

Meet the Stars: Comrade Bumble Bee

Although the management of the theatre usually compile and compose these short biographies, but in this case Comrade Bumble Bee from the Glorious Soviet Socialist Republik Hive has provided us with the text himself(1):


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear all western pigs, capitalist dogs and your childer! Greetings from the Glorious SSRH! We bees of the State wish you and your filthy capitalist ways well and hope your pathetic health services are succeeding in keeping you healthy. Nice things said, we move to tale of Comrade Bees, yes?

In Glorious Mother Hive, all Comrade Bees are equal. In Glorious Mother Hive I learn music and dance from workermother for pleasure of Glorious Leader Bee. This is what we are bringing to you, flabby westerners. Yes? Dance and music in air above you all with faces of wonder and smiles.

With music in air, we dance for joy of Communist Utopia created by Glorious Leader and her many, many Glorious Purges and Pogroms. This is happy for us, yes? No! We never happy while trivial things coming in world! Not like westerners with their smiling faces and clowns. Hello Childer, enjoy show yes?

In end, we Glorious Communist Bees of the Hive State equal, You not. We better and dance from joy of knowing and for the small childer with their fat faces and laughings, yes? Goodbyes!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you to both wonderful audiences for making both shows last night so enjoyable!





And thank to Alazi for her enchanting dance (and her wardrobe malfunction which modesty forbade to me to commit to film)
