After a long absence, the Asheville’s award-winning vaudeville show is back. Look for comedy, juggling, magic, music, burlesque, aerial arts, short plays, sideshow and more. The group is under new management and performing at a new venue, the Magnetic Field.

From the event listing at the Magnetic Field:

August 30, 31 & September 1 @ 8:00pm

Asheville’s LARGEST vaudeville show returns after a “brief” hiatus!  Featuring Western North Carolina’s best comedy, juggling, magic, burlesque, short plays, sideshow and more! Dedicated to discovering the best local talent in the Asheville area, Asheville Vaudeville offers sensational acts ranging from feats of skill and illusion to acts of hilarity and titillation. Tickets $12 (Thurs) & $15 (Fri & Sat).

From a recent Asheville Citizen-Times blog post by Carol Motsinger:

Voted Best Live Show by the readers of Mountain Xpress in 2010, Asheville Vaudeville will be a night of laughter, excitement and awe as many of Asheville’s finest circus artists, jugglers, clowns, magicians, hoopers, story-tellers, puppeteers, burlesque and other variety artists take to the stage and show off their amazing skills and creativity while celebrating the very spirit of historic Vaudeville shows.
