House of Yes rigged its Bushwick warehouse for aerial work, and Dirty Circus is the show that uses it properly: silks, hoop, burlesque and circus acts performed directly above a cabaret-table audience. It starts at 6:30pm, which makes it the rare Brooklyn spectacle you can watch and still be home early, or stay on for the club night after. If you have never seen aerial performance up close, book a table for this.
What to expect
Cabaret tables closest to the stage and standing room behind, with performers working both the floor and the rigging overhead. The bill rotates each week across aerial, burlesque and circus disciplines with a host between acts. The room clears and resets for the separate late-night party afterward.
Good to know
- L to Jefferson St, with the entrance on Jefferson Street.
- House of Yes maintains a dress-up culture even for the early show.
- Table seating books separately and gives the closest view of the rigging.
- The later club night is a separate ticket in the same room.
- Consent guardians are on staff throughout the venue.
- 21 and over; ID is checked at the door.
