The show was a riot. Excellent mix of comedy and psycho juggling. I almost crapped my pants several times during the show from laughter.

Fun, wacky entertainment with something for everyone....This is a great show, not to be missed. I can't decide what my favorite part was.. It's a tie between Bucket Boy and his arch nemesis Incontinent Man, The fabulous swing dance routine that shows off Andrea Terry's incredibly versatile talents (she can sing, she can dance, she can juggle...) or the original music throughout.... Undoubtedly the best and most fun theater I've seen in a long while!!! A must for the "Best of Fringe."

Take one soft rock band, add a classic silent clown and a couple of comedic jugglers and you have Carnival of Chaos/Chaos for Hire. This is a very clever club act. They juggle in the dark. They juggle with flames. And then there's our low-budget superhero, Bucket Boy! No boredom here. Unfortunately, I'm writing this after their last performance, but this local Bay Area group will be playing in many other locations, I'm sure.

A delightful romp through the annals of both
music and juggling. Although an occasional
Indian club was dropped, the excitement in the
audience never flagged for a moment. A definite
candidate for "Best of Fringe."

Just when you think it's safe to go back to the theatre, the psychojugglers show up with their rocker-chick music, their dreamy-eyed clown and their all-out attack on our senses. I rooted for the amazing Bucket Boy. But when I saw his arch-nemesis, Incontinent Man, I just about wet my pants. There's a clown that pours tea from his head, a crystal ball that appears from bubbles, two funny drag queens trying to get in the show, some beautiful glow-in-the-dark imagery. And, one of my favorites -- the girl-boy swing dancing juggling duo. There's also a big juggling finale that will make you wish you had three hands. It's pretty wild and over-the-top (I don't remember any course language but there might be a little) but bring the kids anyway. How often will they get to see a woman leading a band, being a juggler, and singing her soul out, all at the same time. The costumes are great,and even with a slight hetero slant, this group is cool. I dug it. You will too.

The Carnival of Chaos is vaudeville:the X games. Incredible energy. There's a kick ass 5 piece band , juggling, comedy , a light show, hot rocker chick and super hero bucket boy. This was an incredibly cramed with stuff 55 min show that the audience loved. Definitely goes on my A list. They only have one show left and that's Thur night. Also this room gets REALLY warm so dress accordingly.

Music, juggling, humor... they had it all. A great band led by Andrea Terry accompanied and entertained. I loved her accordian touch, and she was just as comfortable on electric guitar. If that's not all, she can juggle! So can the other guys - clubs, balls and (you gotta love it) buckets. Many of the tricks had added humor - loved the spandex-clad dancing girls. Overall, it was a great show that you could see many times and still enjoy.

This is one badass group of clowning comedians. The demented carnival music and virtuosic juggling rock. Personal favorite -- one character empties a forty into his diapers then chucks a ball off the the head of a fellow castmember two feet away. Not to worry, though: the guy's got a bucket on his head.
