The 2026 Barn Burner in Brooklyn

Celebrate the Barn in Brooklyn with a variety show, featuring performances by some of our most audacious clowns, comedians, circus artists, and theatermakers. 

The show is hosted by Jeff Seal, and it will feature performances by Ethan & Gigi, Her Majesty's Secret Circus, Kento Morita, Emma Steiner, Elizabeth Zephyrine & more.

Come for the art. Stay for the festivities, including inspiring remarks, moving testimonials, exciting announcements, some delicious mezze platter and charcuterie, and a few surprises. 

The motto for the event is:

Train hard.

Make shows.

Have fun.

This event is open to everyone in our community:

• Artists who take risks

• Supporters who make our work possible

• Audience members who complete the act of performance

• All the makers, seekers, misfits, and fools who turn given circumstances into real magic

Dress code Festive. Theatrical. Clown cocktail hour. Medicine show chic. The circus is coming to town.
