FIVE MINUTE FOLLIES 2012

Saturday, June 9, 2012 at the Rotunda, 4014 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA

As always, we’re looking for the widest variety of acts we can find. To be considered, please send video or audio of your act (as a link or an attachment) to michaelsubvert@msn.com

Can you do something interesting, entertaining, dramatic, touching, surprising and/or funny in five minutes or less? Well, then, drop us a line.

We are seeking singers, dancers, comics, clowns, jugglers, sideshow performers, contortionists, magicians, and especially hard-to-classify acts. Traditional and non-traditional performers welcome. We are paying homage to the golden age of variety — think Ed Sullivan’s “Toast of the Town”, Ted Mack’s Original Amateur Hour, The Carol Burnett Show — the shows that kept the spirit of Vaudeville alive on television. We want the full spectrum of entertainment, from the nostalgic to the weird.

No bands, but solo artists welcome with own accompaniment (single instrument live accompaniment or CD with backing tracks). No pyrotechnics, no nudity, no animal acts.

Please note, this is a non-paying gig.
