The Ruckus Revival and Disco Donutz Circus come together for the first time ever for an epic pre-Halloween variety show & dance party collaboration!

Don’t miss this mashup of the bizarre, bloody & beautiful. Half Ruckus Revival, half Disco Donutz, Monster’s Ball is a Halloween carnival party of dark circus, killer clowns, eerie aerialists, sinister stand-up comedians, zombie strip shows and haunted hip-hop followed by a devilish dance party featuring DJs with tricks & treats of their own.

😈 About THE RUCKUS REVIVAL 😈
https://www.facebook.com/theruckusrevival
Ruckus is a non-stop ride full of uncensored circus, stand-up comedy, burlesque, contortion, pole performance, freestyle battle rap, aerial artistry, beat-boxing, lyrical bouts, shocking sideshow, hilarious dirty haiku bouts & more! The winner of multiple "Best of the Bay" awards, the SF Chronicle calls Ruckus "a dazzling, inspiring and celebratory display of talent" and "a tent revival for misfits and freaks, those whose artistry or spectatorship has a homespun bent and a bandit streak."
