Thursday's Schedule:

Friday July 3rd, 9PM at Liquids Night Club in the Cadillac Island Casino, we will be hosting "The Legends Collide Tour"!  Pretty Girls,Wrestling, Amazing Circus Stunts and ........a FIST FIGHT.  Redemption. Wrestlers. This time it’s for real. The Jim Rose Circus vs. Jake the Snake Roberts.

Featuring SINn BohDi formerly Kizarney of WWE + special guests coming to Liquids Night Club at the Cadillac Island CasinoFriday July 3 at 9 PM. 

Ladies and Gents it is time once again for the infamous and wildly celebrated, our favorite ringleader, Jim Rose to take his delightful and dark yet comedic, mysteriously twisted show on the road. Jim Rose presents The Jim Rose Circus vs Iconic Wrestling legend, Jake the Snake Roberts. From out of the ring and into the clubs, this is the hottest mind bending thrill ride your money can buy this summer. A ticket is good for a seat, but you will only use the edge. High-flying, bone-jarring excitement-- It feels like biblical times with miracles happening everywhere. You will need a swivel on your neck to catch it all. Done in a seedy atmosphere just like the movie The Wrestler.

Have you ever felt stunned laughter? Besides amazing circus stunts and pretty girls everywhere, this is the most brutal comedy ever offered. These are the real men who don't need a ring. Their disputes will be settled live and raw on stage...using every dirty trick in the books. The intimacy of this epic battle will make you feel like you're living it. This is a new spellbound episode for the The Jim Rose Circus. This is not what you saw in the episode of the Simpsons where Homer runs away and joins the Jim Rose Circus as the human cannonball. And you didn't see anything this like this on Jims weekly Television Show, The Jim Rose Twisted Tour on the Travel Channel, nor on the X-Files in 1995, the much lauded guest star role as the lead murder suspect in what was to become one of the most popular episodes. Indeed, this is not what you witnessed when Jim Rose was on tour with NIN and opening act Marilyn Manson in 1994 presenting some of the raunchiest acts for its time. Unlike those, this show's content is a compelling one, the theme is redemption... This is Jake The Snake Roberts living out his tragedy once and for all. Painfully misunderstood and abused within by his torment, torn apart by being loved not hated. He was supposed to be the bad guy against Hulk Hogan in the 80s but he sold his character too well and his charisma continued to woo his fans. When he walked into the arena to cheers Hulk would get boos. The promoters invested so much into marketing Hulk as the good guy that they had to discontinue Jake the Snake while he was selling out Madison Square Garden time after time. He took it hard and had a rough patch. These tough times were exposed in the documentary "Beyond The Mat," the writer for the movie The Wrestler says that this documentary is what inspired him to write the script. Now it's time to get ready to be engrossed for the next chapter brought to you live with your ringleader Jim Rose at the helm. Yes it’s a soap opera comedy but that’s what wrestling is. Everyone familiar with Jake knows this is a show about redemption, And this show is about his hard fought comeback. Jim Rose will lead and mislead his rapt audience once again on a journey rife with misunderstood, mysterious and idiotic achievements as he plays The Villain.

He’ll explore and sometimes expose the difference between man and monster. The sixty-minute plus performance is infused with Rose’s wicked wit, stunning feats and unexpected asides. He delights the audience with his own tongue-in- cheek charismatic style. Now be forwarned, this is not his first time showcasing wrestlers. In 1997 - 1998 Jim put together a new show that featured Women Sumo Wrestling, Power Tools, Mexican Transvestite Wrestling, and a retrospect of his classic stunts. This show landed Jim in a Lubbock Texas jail, and banned him in New Zealand for a couple of weeks until the authorities relented. Despite these set backs, it was one of his best selling shows ever.This new coupling of rock and roll and theatre will dwarf any show he has ever done. A showman in the classic Barnum style, he’s obsessed with the best and the strangest and with providing genuine entertainment. - The Toronto Star - His delivery is brutally comic. He plays the highly-strung audience like a violin. - The Independent, London - The line in Salt Lake City stretched all the way to the Mormon Temple. They had to turn hundreds away. -

Wall Street Journal - Fun for all ages!

SINn BohDi formerly Kizarney of WWE Bebe The Circus Queen The audience is on their tiptoes, moans and shrieks, some people cover their eyes, others cast furtive looks at their companions. - Ann Japanga, LA Times

-The absolute must-see act is the Seattle-based Jim Rose Show. - Rolling Stone

- Freak mania is spreading unabated. - Newsweek

- The line in Salt Lake City stretched all the way to the Mormon Temple. They had to turn hundreds away.

- Wall Street Journal - This word freaks could be a contentious one, however Rose defuses my discomfort with a short laugh. - Sydney Morning Herald

- The show attracts a wide range of audience members; you see an artist sitting next to a cowboy next to a rocker next to a person in a business suit. - LA Life

- We all went home satisfied, entertained and suitably appalled to the depth of our being. - New Music Express, London

- I’ve seen a lot of things in my time. I must see 40 circuses a year- but this lot...They came on in their street clothes and then...They’re beyond anything I’ve ever seen. They shocked me. - Gerry Cottle - Circus Proprietor, in Sunday Telegraph

- Muzzing the line between art and outrage. - Time Out

- All of this is not necessarily pretty, but it is wonderful, because it genuinely causes the mind to wonder.

- Katherine Dunn, author of Geek Love, LA Times - Audience reaction is largely that kind of revolted amusement more commonly associated with tourists at a bull fight. - Melody Maker

- Will the Human Pin Cushion please report backstage. That was the first hint that the incredible, stupendous Jim Rose show was about to begin. - New York Post

- Creating the biggest wave of this mania is the Jim Rose show, a Seattle-based rock styled live act comprised of a half-dozen attractions. - New York Newsday

- Lollapalooza’s word of mouth hit attraction. - USA Today

- Hot business suit, Jeans, Jim Rose T-shirt, Reeboks. - Richard Linklater, Director of Slaker, for Rolling Stone’s Hot List

 - Freak mania is spreading unabated. - Newsweek

- Amazingly, it is actually fun. It may not be everyone’s idea of entertainment, but then what is ? It certainly does not deserve to be banned. - The Times Magazine, London

- If the body of performer Jim Rose is indeed a temple, he has perfected its desecration to a fine art. - Spin Magazine

- Selling out shows across a thrill-hungry nation. - Peter Gilstrap, Washington Post

- The main attraction was the Jim Rose Show, a post-punk freak show from Seattle. - Jon Parales, New York Times -
