"Thwack together vaudevillian comic chops, astounding musicality, and oodles of quirky sex appeal and you've got the Steamy Bohemians, Boston's very own darlings of debauchery. Part glam rock, part stand-up comedy, and all sass, steamy duo Lainey Schulbaum and Niki Luparelli seductively tickle audiences with songs like "My Love For You (The Mayonnaise Song)," "Second Cousin," and "The Ballad of the Bastard," which the ladies claim are inspired by "chaos, cultural discontent, and gender polarity. And weed." Though their banter rivals Lucy and Ethel and their lyrics are borderline absurd, these broads offer more than just a kitschy hook. Both are classically trained sopranos, and Schulbaum's guitar playing will rock your pretty little face off. Check out their debut album Technicolor Radio or, better yet, their live show Jerkus Circus, happening monthly at the Lizard Lounge (1667 Mass Ave, Cambridge, 617.547.0759)."

Our very own show
“A hilarious show that combines music, humor, alcohol, sex, and everything else you wouldn’t want to watch or talk about with your parents.”
-Dallas Baldwin for Worcester Magazine
Jerkus Circus is a quarterly variety show created, booked, produced, labored over, and hosted by us. Featuring comedians, burlesque dancers, contortionists, gymnasts, drag acts, misfits, weirdo-freaks, and rock-and-roll. Watch us channel the gods of chaos! Our struggle will seem effortless. What song will Lainey forget how to play? What will Niki pull out of her boobs? There's only one way to find out.
JERKUS CIRCUS WEST
Ralph's Chadwick Square Diner in tropical Worcester, Mass. transforms into the Circus. 9:30pm, 21+, $8 at the door, $6 with student ID.
JERKUS CIRCUS EAST
Much like JC West, this occurs at OBERON Theatre in high-brow communist enclave Cambridge, Mass. Come lounge under a disco ball as we parade our freakishness!

Few people ask "Who are the Steamy Bohemians?"
Not because we are reknowned such that the question has already been answered for most, but rather because we are (temporarily) obscure enough that no one cares. Yet.
But we have ensured our success and inexorable fame in a very concrete way: by acting as if we are already famous (the first step to being a rockstar being to live like one); drinking publicly from flasks, getting high in parking lots*, having high-profile feuds, and being generally unruly. We plan on destroying hotel rooms and expensive equipment as soon as we can afford to, and have already imagined ourselves being disqualified for drug use from what would surely be a short climb to celebrity status through reality television talent contests.
"The Steamy Bohemians not only take every pee-pee cah-cah joke
and hand it back to nitwits still amazed by predictable crotch humor,
but they make them like it so much that the nitwits then go home and
masturbate. Feminism and fun? We used to have to keep that shit
secret."
- Barry Crimmins
“It is in their original songwriting that the Steamy Bohemians really shine as performers.”
- C.D. DiGuardia for NE Performer Magazine
"I've never been so disappointed and enjoyed it so much."
- Evan O'Television
"You girls are pretty and you sing good."
- drunken patron
"The best act ever."
