Our Master of Ceremonies, Jim Rose.

Likely you have heard plenty about the internationally renowned performance artist / author Jim Rose. Though he’d been honing his special and spectacular skills in Europe and the States for years, Rose first came to national prominence in 1992 at the Lollapalooza tour, garnering raves on MTV and publications ranging from the Wall Street Journal to Rolling Stone, which called the Jim Rose Circus “the absolute must-see act”. USA Today termed Rose’s troupe “Lollapalooza’s word-of-mouth hit attraction” and the quick-witted show became the darling of high and low society alike.

His shows are a mind-bending thrill ride. Jim Rose leads and misleads a rapt audience on a journey rife with misunderstood, mysterious and idiotic achievements and exploits. He explores and sometimes exposes the difference between man, monster and dumb ass. He delights the audience with his own tongue-in-cheek charismatic style.

From the X-Files to the Simpsons, From traveling the world to the world watching his reality show on the Travel Channel... and now in Austin for the biggest Burlesque event in Texas history!

Let the shenanigans ensue.
