Yard Dogs Road Show is a thirteen-member traveling cabaret that features a unique blend of performances, including vaudeville, burlesque, stage magic, sideshow oddities, and beatnik "hobo poetry." Performances include musical interludes, song and dance numbers, and background music from the Yard Dogs cartoon heavy band. Originally from San Francisco, the Yard Dogs made their first full-fledged national tour in the Spring of 2005, playing 25 shows in 35 days with seven sold-out performances. Their show is used as a vehicle to travel and promote an independent lifestyle and spirit. All the performers are completely independent and 100% collaborative in creating their performances on stage. Their main objective is to inspire others to create and express themselves outside of the box. Consequently, creative communities are increasing in towns they have visited and revisited. The Yard Dogs Road Show is collaborative group of friends who love to travel and perform together. Through their collaborative performances they aim to bring other artists together and create more independent artistic communities throughout the world.
