About Us

From the depths of purgatory and through the shadows of the bayou Cirque des Morts Vauceville Society rises to bring you a true vaudevillian experience to entertain and delight.

But beware... It may cost you your soul.


In the beginning Cirque des Morts began as a humble yard display, put together with doting care by a Halloween-loving family. Over the years it had become the neighborhood spectacular, complete with a full circus tent, performances, and many, many skeletons including our beloved Charlie, the 12ft Home Depot skeleton.


2023 marks the beginning of Cirque des Morts' new chapter of full-scale, year-round productions and community programs.

We offer performances for all ages or the strictly 19+ crowd, such as full Vaudevillian variety shows, singular acts from our in-house circus performers, as well as "Halloween-for-hire".


Let our creatures of the night give your guests an event to remember...

the purpose of our society is to:

To provide the Lower Mainland with ​financially accessible vaudeville style ​entertainment for both family and adults that ​fuses the traditional with the modern, ​highlighting cultural diversity, LGBTQ2AI+ ​and crossing class boundaries.

To offer paid stage time to local artists and ​entertainers that allows for creative freedom ​at a fair and competitive rate.

In a nutshell; we strive to create fun and entertaining art at an affordable price!
