Asheville Vaudeville premiered to a sold-out house at BeBe Theatre on Thursday Nov 5th.

The audience was treated to 14 wide-ranging performances including comedy sketches, juggling, music, dance, and magic. The diverse performances were tied together by the masterful MC work of Brian Sneedon (aka Baron Von Sneedon).
Highlights included the always entertaining songs of Cookie Larue and Vendetta Creme; the intense Butoh performance of Julie Becton Gillum, the classic street magic of Tom the Magician, the violin and accordion of Lynday Pruett and Bretian, the hoop dance of Britta Filter combining both acrobatic and ballet influences, the comedic genius of Jim Julien, and juggling from 40 Fingers and a Missing Tooth…..and of course Sophie the Wonder Dog.

An all-new Asheville Vaudeville show returns on Dec 3rd at the BeBe Theatre.
