A look ahead to the 2015 Moisture Festival, which runs March 19-April 12 in and around Seattle.
Fremont and Broadway are always a little on the wild side, but they’re going to get even wilder as the Moisture Festival gets under way this Thursday, March 19.
A full month of comedy, varieté and burlesque shows are slated for Hale’s Palladium at Hale’s Brewery and the Broadway Performance Hall. Performers include jugglers, high-wire walkers, aerialists, clowns, novelty music acts and a Bronx-born “cowboy” who does tricks with lassos and bullwhips.
Special events:
• An all-star MishMash Circus Bash, co-produced by the Moisture Festival and Teatro ZinZanni, features top performers from both outfits, April 7-8, at Teatro ZinZanni, 222 Mercer St., Seattle.
