Brace yourselves, Villagers! – For the first time, Mr. Swindle’s Traveling Peculiarium and Drink-Ory Garden is bringing its one of a kind spectacle to the Villages! The boutique big top lands in Millenium Park March 27 – April 6, promising an unusual night filled with laughs, peculiar acrobats, and surprises that will have you questioning what you thought was “entertainment.”
The experience begins in the Drink-Ory Garden which unlocks its gates an hour before the show kicks off. Here, guests are summoned to indulge in Dr. Elixir’s potent potions, enticing elixirs, and savory snacks prior to the show commencing. It’s not just a prelude; it’s a tantalizing taste designed to prep you for the intoxicating journey awaiting you under the big top.
Once you step into the temperature-tamed Peculiarium, prepare to be pleasantly appalled! The crowd is set to gasp, howl, and burst into fits of laughter, delighting in jaw-dropping feats and absurd comedy where predictability takes a vacation. The show, ever the shape-shifter, reinvents itself each year. So, whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or a first-timer, it’s a perpetual new experience.
“This show isn’t just an escape; it’s an all-out overload on the senses,” teases Allison Blei, co-producer. “It’s an intoxicating mix of laughter and jaw-dropping astonishment that gets under your skin, leaving a lasting impression and images you simply can’t forget! Patrons tell us they’ve laughed until they cried, and many leave with sore cheeks (the ones on their face) from laughing so hard!”
“Last season was nothing short of spectacular, with nearly every performance selling out,” shared Ivan España, co-producer of the show. “This year marks our eighth season since debuting in 2018, and our tour continues to grow with exciting new locations—including The Villages! Our mission is to create an extraordinary and unforgettable experience each year, one that leaves guests astonished, entertained, and laughing long after the show ends. Seeing the joy and energy that fill our tent night after night is truly the greatest reward.”
