Ruckus Goes to the Movies

Ruckus goes to the movies with a blockbuster night of cinematic madness! Watch Beetlejuice take flight, Joker spin on the pole, Hedwig strip down, and Jack Skellington swallow swords. Plus fire performances, juggling, stand-up comedy, and burlesque acts inspired by your favorite films!

November 13th we're bringing you a raucous and unforgettable night at The Continental Club in Oakland, CA, filled with movie-inspired circus, comedy, slam poetry, burlesque, rap battles, and non-stop fun. Whether you're a film buff, an underground art lover, or just looking for a good time, this is the place to be!

Winner of multiple "Best of the Bay" awards, the SF Chronicle hails Ruckus as "a dazzling, inspiring and celebratory display of talent…a tent revival for misfits and freaks." Every show features a brand-new lineup, plus audience-judged rap battles and slam poetry competitions with $400 cash prizes up for grabs.

Hosted by Jamie DeWolf (HBO's Def Poetry Jam, NPR's Snap Judgment) and Wonder Dave (Mental Health Comedy Hour), with masters of mayhem DizzyfromEarlier and Little Glitter Bomb."
