The Amazing Acro-Cats Feline Circus Show Returns to Brooklyn This Weekend
The Amazing Acro-Cats is an incredible feline circus show started by animal trainer Samantha Martin in order to show that cats can indeed be trained and can do amazing tricks. Starting tonight through Sunday, the cat circus will will be performing 6 shows at Brooklyn Music School in Fort Geene.
Our fantastic felines will amuse and amaze your guests as they ride skateboards, ring bells, roll barrels, walk the high wire, climb ropes, push a shopping cart, jump through hoops, and even run a cat-size agility course.
Closing out the show will be a performance by the world's only cat band: The Rock Cats.
With Oz on guitar, Dakota on drums, Nue on keyboards, and Sookie on chimes - Tuna (who plays cowbell) and her backing band really strut their stuff with their own style of original music. Cluck Norris, a chicken on cymbal and tambourine, isn't "kitten" around - she usually steals the show!
Tickets to the circus start at $25 and are almost sold-out, so get yours now! If you can't make it, at least check out this recent Acro-Cats performance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
