The Burst & Bloom Variety Show Tour is a modern variety show, showcasing the best in contemporary comedy, music, magic, and other forms of live entertainment. The show will hit five New England cities in May, and will feature different special guests in each city. Tiger Saw will serve as the house band, and will perform basement soul originals and carefully-selected covers. Each night will feature stand-up comedy by Danny Jordan and others. Joel the Wizard will perform close-up and stage magic.
Danny Jordan has been a staple of the Portland, Maine comedy scene for over seven years. He is the host and producer of Maine's only queer comedy show, Deep Thoughts and has performed with Don't Tell Comedy and recently opened for Alok Vaid-Menon.
Tiger Saw is a long-running New England band who spent years honing a style of music they call “basement soul”, which culminated on the 2019 album “The Featherweight”. They'll be performing songs from "The Featherweight" as well as some well-hewn covers and other surprises.
Most people get into magic as a kid who is socially awkward. Joel the Wizard got into it as an adult who is socially awkward. He is painfully aware of how cheesy and lame magic can be presented and doesn’t treat his audiences like children. More Puck the fairy than David Copperfield, Joel cares about being engaging and making people laugh. He will fool you.
