Live From the Pirate Isles
Comedy! Slight of hand! Acts of daring and stupidity! Come to the Pirate Isles to see fire-eating, sword-swallowing, bed-of-nails- lying, and more!

Shattered Shakespeare - Frequently referring to their older and more famous playwright brother William as a "hack", Bill and Phil Shakespeare attempt to perform the works of the "Bard", in twenty-five minutes or less.

Droolin Jack and the Rum Runners   Join "Droolin' Jack" Porter and his crew of scallywags, as they set sail from Tortuga and into the excitement of your event. Performing pirate songs, shanties and traditional songs-of-the-sea, along with comedy and story-telling, these buccaneers are the perfect addition to any corporate event, outdoor festival or private party. "The Rum Runners" can perform on-stage, or strolling, combining comedy, adventure, attitude and song into a most enjoyable show for all ages.

Ladies of Leisure  - Three singing ladies...well, two ladies and one of questionable ladyship...bring you a combination of old favorites and rarely-heard songs.  Enjoy all that your ladies of leisure have to offer!

Wild Rose Pub Sing - Come join us at the Dragon and Rose Pub at the end of the day for singing and revelry! Song books provided so you can join in the fun!

Naughty Bawdy Babes
We are The Naughty Bawdy Babes! The newest Bawdy Ballads show on the Renaissance Festival Circuit today. Together we are the Dunmore Sisters... Ivy and Lucy.

The Dragon Harper - Music and ballads in the bardic tradition.

Viking Home Companion - Greetings and welcome to the Village of Skaugnir! Home of The Viking Home Companion series of silly Norse stories and folk songs.

Flying Carpet Tales
Interactive story telling for the young and the young at heart, where the children are the stars and we guide and unleash their imaginations!

Evil Peanutbutter - Tribal fusion belly dancing.

The Plunder Doggs - Join this duo of scallywags as they perform sea shanties, pirate songs and traditional sailing songs. 

Peppi' Roni Players - The Peppi' Roni Players bring you improvisational theatre at its finest - you'll laugh, you'll cry, not least of why is because they do it to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

Sasanach - Keith Engle plays the music of the Fae - traditional Irish music on the fiddle. Jigs, reels and hornpipes will make you stamp your feet and clap your hands.

Il Divertente – the greatest Commedia dell’ Arte troupe by Lake Erie, performs “Misguided Hastiludes.” Hastilude is a term for a medieval joust, or spear play. In this original Commedia dell’ Arte style lazzi written by Amanda Mulder, three women are heavily misguided into a joust of fates when a mysterious Spaniard arrives in Venice, Italy. As they all conspire ways to compete for the unknown stranger's affection, much drama and hilarity ensues.
