House of Yes, Bushwick's genre-defying performance nightclub, throws its signature Dirty Circus — a raucous variety show stacked with aerial acrobatics, burlesque, drag, and circus acts before the dance floor takes over. It's the venue that turned immersive nightlife into an art form, where costumes are encouraged and the line between audience and spectacle blurs fast. If you want the weekend's most unhinged, consent-forward, anything-goes Brooklyn night out, this is it.
What to expect
The night opens with a hosted variety show — aerialists on silks, burlesque, drag and circus feats staged inches from the crowd — then rolls into late-night dancing. Expect bold costumes, themed decor, and House of Yes's famously theatrical, consent-first party culture. Dress up; the crowd absolutely will.
