About
“Absolutely outrageous” are the only words that properly describe the excitement created by The Great Mr. Swindle’s Traveling Peculiarium and Drink-Ory Garden. Hosted by shyster B.S. Swindler (that’s Mr. Swindle for short), the shady Dr. Elixer and an equally eccentric cast, this unique evening of merriment features the likes of the complex body mechanics of The Contorted, sensational whirlwind The Spinologist, high-flying duo Suspended Passion and many more!

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 5Gurly81caroleg0 contributionsGreat show, awful, overpriced foodThey advertise enticing treats so we went early and hungry. They offered a bag of popcorn, a tiny grocery store hot dog and nachos which were nothing more than chips and that ghastly fake cheese sauce, pickled jalapeños if you wanted them…each cost $10…what a ripoff. A bottle of pop for $5. This is where they make their money. The show however redeemed this terrible start. It was very entertaining and we enjoyed it. I would definitely go but don’t waste your money on the ghastly, overpriced treats.Written February 10, 2025
- beverlyf5480 contributionsNo more banana routine!Please cut the banana routine! Gross! The rest of the show was wonderful! This was the second time we saw the show in Jupiter and were happy with the new performances and performers.Written August 23, 2024
- lisaoF7126SG0 contributionsGood show!This was a fun show! If you’ve seen some of the more risqué shows in Vegas, you’ve likely seen most of the acts done before but that didn’t make going any less fun! Hopefully not giving anything away - but I would caution that if you are easily grossed out, turn away from the happy couple and their banana. That was the only downside as we heard a few people making gagging sounds that were unfortunately real. All and all a fun time and wonderful and engaging cast and crew.Written December 3, 2023
- makerr301960 contributionsboringvery disappointing, we left after 45 minutes during thier "intermission" when they asked everyone to get up and go buy overpriced drinks at the bar. Jokes were very stale and corny and the acts were boring and not entertaining. Save your money, definitely not worth it.Written March 14, 2023
- B2778ZKrichardl0 contributionsBoringJokes were stale and old. Circus acts old and done and not very exciting. Save your money and avoid this snore fest.Written February 26, 2023

- oliverswands0 contributionsThe Greatest Show on Earth!Mr Swindle’s Pecularium has everything an old time show should have! We were riveted! From the minute they took the stage, it was non stop entertainment! The wind up doll was one of our favorites. To tell the truth, every performance was fantastic! A must see for everyone!Written October 27, 2022
- gamrit140 contributionsSuch a Fun and Unique ExperienceIf you have the chance to go don’t miss it!!! I was a little unsure of what to expect but it exceeded expectations. First off, I don’t usually find “adult humor” that funny but… THEY WERE FUNNY. There’s cool audience interaction and cool acts. I love that it’s old timey themed and they provide a back story for each act. Also nice that animals aren’t involved so it’s more ethical than a regular circus. The performers were great… incredibly talented!!! It was really a fun time, I wish I could go again. Also the tent was heated which was really nice.Written October 27, 2022
- Irishmom40 contributionsFantastical, the only word that comes to mind!We had no idea that taking a chance purchasing tickets was going to be one of the best experiences. It’s a strange & wonderful show, a little theater, a little circus & a little burlesque in an intimate circus styled tent. We recommend this show to anyone who enjoys sensational new theater experience!Written October 27, 2022
- espdad0 contributionsNon stop entertainment!The show was fantastic. The acrobats and the high flyers were great. The best part of the show was the comic relief between acts and the announcer😊Written October 27, 2022

- Squirrel37920 contributionsAn Intimate Fun ExperienceThis show was worth every penny. So much talent in this variety show! And the amount of audience interaction is thrilling. The venue is small so you always have a great vantage point and feel involved.Written October 26, 2022
- PrettyFuzzy0 contributionsSo much fun! Adults only!I loved this show which I described to my friends as "2 hours of stupid human tricks". That undersells it as some of the tricks are pretty impressive and there's also comedy - I laughed until I cried a couple times. My advice is: Arrive early if there's any sort of pre-show opportunity. At Harpoon Brewery in Boston there was a cool drink garden set up. And leave the kids home. A couple people brought kids, and this is not for kids, IMHO.Written October 26, 2022

Sassy, Classy & a bit Nasty. Unconventional ultramodern spin on the traveling carnival. Classic circus acts infused with adult humor. Revolutionary! Titillating! Indescribeable!
An absolute MUST see
Amy G’s uncanny ability to reimagine songs kept us tantalizing for what's to come. Dr Elixir’s provocative cures for ailments ‘No Good Christian’ would ever have was devilishly delectable. Romantically flirting with death, Sick Romance was like roadkill, you know you shouldn't look but you do anyway. We watched in horror & glee as What's Going Around defied the impossible. Tied Up created the captivating space between perceived innocence & deliberate provocation. Born Sexy Yesterday.... Literally. Love or Hate him, The Guy, was utterly delightful. His disingenuous smile was mesmerizing. He enchanted his way into our hearts, we felt compassion for him only to be mind-blown by his actions. I could go on & on about the entire show, it is a must see. Thank you Mr. Swindle for giving us The Traveling Peculiarium.

We had the pleasure of seeing this show in Boston. It was fantastic! We laughed so hard our faces hurt. The circus acts were so exciting. It was so nice to have a break from the world and just sit, laugh and enjoy the talent of these incredible artist! We had so much fun and I would recommend it to any adult who has a good sense of humor and wants to be entertained . It was a cold and blustery night, but inside the tent, it was warm and cozy. The perfect place to sit enjoy a beer and watch a fantastic show. We can’t wait to see next years show!!!

You can't mock God and get away with it!!!! Great show except for the Blasphemy! I chuckle at crude jokes with the rest of 'em but I do not want to see a man who chose to mutilate his body parade around a stage or anywhere. It's sick & evil and most definitely not funny. Thankfully it was at the end of the show.

Exhilarating performances in a boutique tent. Gives all the old timey vaudeville vibes. Outstanding adult comedy my face hurt from laughing so hard. Great date night or group activity. Free parking at Harpoon Brewery and the Swindler on tap is delicious.

I wasn't really sure what type of show it was going to be. Man was I shocked at how entertaining it was going to be. At some points of the show I almost fell out of my seat laughing. Other times I was amazed at the talent of the performers. I was on the edge of my seat and covering my eyes during some of the acts. I look forward to having it back in the Boston area again next year. It is a must see.....

Having attended three of Mr Swindlers shows in Englewood Florida prior to last weekend’s performance. I was very disappointed. The acts were great! However, the comic entertainment was raunchy and sloppy. At our performance we had families sitting by us , they left! Not sure if there’s a parent advisory posted when buying tickets but there should be. This 2023 performance lacked professionalism. No aerials, and less acts

Hello Disappointed,
Thank you for attending the show and for being a loyal guest. Mr. Swindle is thrilled to hear that you loved the acts! The acrobatic performers are world renowned and Mr. Swindle goes to great expense to bring them to each venue. Just a note: There was an aerial act (aerial silks) and just as many acts as you would normally see plus one additional.
Mr. Swindle sure does walk the line with the comedic entertainment to thrill the guests and to ensure a new experience for everyone in the audience. The comedic artist are world renowned and have traveled the globe performing in venues all over the world such as The Sydney Opera House in Australia, Niagara Falls in Canada, 49 States, Germany, South Korea, Japan, England and so on. The comedic artist are incredibly talented singers, actors and perform original content brilliantly!
Now let's talk about the elephant in the room. The comedy is not for everyone. It is edgy, pushes the envelope, thrilling, fantasy and will have you dreaming about it for years to come and you just may never forget what you saw. We have several couples tell us their first date was at Mr. Swindle's Traveling Peculairium and now they are married...we hear this often. We provide a magical and wonderful experience for 99% of the audience while the other 1% maybe not so much...We are forth coming about the content of the show and it is posted on our website and again as the customer proceeds through the checkout experience.
We appreciate the feedback and will take it into great consideration on how we can improve our messaging.

This is Burlesque show meets human circus. Hilarious! We didn't know what to expect but the show delivered! Length of performances and show were perfect. The oddities were astounding, and the humor, although geared for adult only audience,was cleverly funny. I would highly recommend. Arrive early to enjoy adult beverages and snacks prior to show time.

We saw this performance in Englewood Florida. Although this venue is rated as adult entertainment, - some skits are VULGAR , DISGUSTING and not at all funny. It was a poor attempt at burlesque comedy. The circus performances, however,were outstanding. Although the tent was supposedly air conditioned, we were uncomfortable . BTW, over the years, we have attended other Mr. Swindle’s performances’.

This show was average, my wife called it cute. Not off the chain great as described, but not bad either. Was I glad I went?, I guess so. Would I go again? no. Prices were high, but then again so are most things these days. The views from the back rows are not good, especially if you have someone much taller in front of you!
