B.S. Swindles Traveling Peculiarium

Kate and I recently stepped into the delightfully outrageous world of Mr. Swindle’s Traveling Peculiarium (often playfully called BS Swindles), and it was hands-down one of the most unique and hilarious adult-themed shows we’ve experienced.

This traveling extravaganza, produced by Salto Entertainment, unfolds under a boutique, climate-controlled big top tent with cushioned seating that keeps everyone comfortable for the full 90-minute spectacle (complete with a short intermission). Hosted by the shady, charismatic Mr. B.S. Swindler (Mr. Swindle for short) and his mischievous sidekick Dr. Elixir, the production blends classic vaudeville vibes with modern twists—think mind-bending acrobatics, gravity-defying stunts, contortionists, aerialists, and jaw-dropping variety acts that leave you gasping one moment and roaring with laughter the next.

What sets it apart is the sophisticated adult humor: absurd comedy, clever double entendres, suggestive visuals, and plenty of cheeky references to drinking and mischief. It’s strictly 18+ (photo ID required), designed for grown-ups who appreciate irreverent, outlandish fun without crossing into anything too explicit—just wildly inappropriate in the best way. The energy is electric, with performers delivering top-notch talent in an intimate in-the-round setup that makes every flip, spin, and punchline feel personal.

The evening kicks off an hour early in Dr. Elixir’s Drink-Ory Garden, where you can sip potent potions, bitter brews, and signature cocktails while munching on savory snacks—perfect for setting the festive, topsy-turvy mood.

Reviews rave about it being “unlike anything we’ve seen,” with audiences howling until their cheeks hurt. It’s a fresh, updated show each year, blending vintage carnival charm with high-production value that feels like a twisted, hilarious upgrade on classic circus entertainment.

If you’re in Florida (it’s touring spots like Sarasota, Englewood, and beyond through early 2026), grab tickets at http://mrswindles.com—this peculiar gem is an unforgettable date night or group outing. We left buzzing with joy and still chuckling days later. Absolutely outrageous, and absolutely worth it!
