At 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Aug. 28, BigTop JoJo, the fictitious ringmaster of the Towering Show of Wonder, turns Excalibur in River North into the “Phenomenal Phantasmagoria,” an innovative evening of storytelling, puppetry and original music, with a revolving roster of circus, burlesque, theater and musical acts, including the turtle boy, the mermaid, the woman made of lava rock and the emperor from a land where human and plant life comingle. Tickets are $20.
On Friday, Aug. 27, you can make it a double feature with the club’s midnight screening of “Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
In between, grab a burger or a steak sandwich in Excalibur’s downstairs eatery.
