The Puget Sound Puppetry Festival presents Professor Humbug's Extraordinary Flea Circus!

Humbug's is a cruelty-free Victorian-style flea circus, which has never failed to delight even the most skeptical of audiences, and all audience members who do not wear corrective eyewear have no trouble "seeing the fleas"...even from a distance. As you probably know, the flea circus has existed for thousands of years, predating all other forms of scientific entertainment, as the earliest impresarios could not afford large animals for display, or be expected to handle the financial responsibility of feeding them; whereas, a flea was always readily available, and fed with a minimum of effort.

Performance is "busking style" with seating reserved for those unable to stand. Tickets are offered only to control capacity for safety.

This project was funded in part by a grant from the Renton Municipal Arts Commission.

The Puget Sound Puppetry Festival is dedicated to protecting the health and safety of our attendees. We have adopted the following policies to ensure everyone's safety: Masks are required inside the venue (and encouraged outside in the crowd) at all times by all event attendees and staff, except when actively eating or drinking where permissible. Any event ticket holder who does not comply with any COVID-related health protocol may be asked to leave the event. We appreciate your cooperation.
