Seattle – The Moisture Festival 2010
The Moisture Festival is back in Seattle! Since 2004, The Moisture Festival has presented it’s Comedy/Varietè to the people of Seattle every Spring. For those like myself who weren’t familiar with what Comedy/Varietè is, here’s a short explanation.
Comedy/Variete is an intriguing assortment of entertainment. It is often highly skilled performance that’s mixed with many bizarre talents, often humorous and only limited by the imagination. Presented as a variety show, act or artist performs his or her routine for their 3 – 15 minute time slot accompanied by a live show band. Some acts include aerialists, jugglers, comedians, dancers, rope acts, bubble acts, clowns, acrobats, can can girls, strong women, strong men, tap dancers, drill teams, musical numbers, the weird and the wonderful, all keeping in tradition of Comedy/Varietè/Vaudeville alive.
While trying to find out more about the Moisture Festival, here are some fun youtube videos that I ran across. The first being an act from Godrey Daniels the 7 foot tall giant clown with a balloon.
Next was a group called Nanda which seemed very entertaining.
Overall, this festival looks like a lot of fun.
The festival started on March 11 and will run until April 4, 2010, so there’s still time to go see it.
Tickets are on sale at the five venues for Moisture Festival, such as the ACT Theatre, Hale’s Palladium, Open Space for Arts & Community on Vashon Island, Georgetown Ballroom, and the Siff Cinema.
