About This Show

The Flaming Idiots makes its Chicago-area debut in Flare, an uproarious juggling, tumbling, fiery
torch-tossing comedy. Pushing the limits of possibility, probability and acceptability, The Flaming Idiots regularly leave fans of all ages laughing, cheering and writing letters to the parole board. Paying respects to both vaudeville and spontaneous human combustion, the troupe creates distinct characters and engage audiences with its laid-back style, demonstrating such diverse skills as juggling, balloon eating, whipcracking, and acrobatics with razor sharp comedic timing.
