Flea-ting Moments Of Fame

Professor Adam Gertsacov, every bit the fantastical impresario, in his purple top hat and cash-register voice, introduces us to the wondrous insects itching (sorry) to perform....a high-spirited glance back at an entertainment form that had been dead as a doornail on 42nd Street since Professor Hecker's Show at Hubert's Dime Museum closed in 1957. |
|
Professor A.G. Gertsacov and his Acme Miniature Circus will amaze and astound even the most cynical and nearsighted of visitors. WATCH! As Midge and Madge pull a tiny chariot! GASP! As they frolic on the tightrope! WINCE! As the Professor cracks an endless stream or corny jokes! So maybe something good is finally happening in Times Square. |

Gertsacov keeps the amazing curiousity alive with entomological entertainment that dazzles, disgusts, and confuses his audience... Too ludicrous and perversely fascinating to miss! |
|
Biting Entertainment... a cross-generational crowd, ranging from mesmerized kids to kitsch-loving, tattooed twentysomethings to nostalgia-driven seniors. |

Midge and Madge provide the springboard for thoughts on our oppression of the species (through the use of soap) and the psychology of two microscopic divas. Brilliantly warm-hearted: to paraphrase Gertsacov, this is suitable viewing for your "inner child."

Professor Gertsacov holds the audience (and his performers) in the palm of his hand...Audience reaction builds from bewilderment to fascination and glee. |
|
An Ironist of the Insect Realm... a 'psycho-entomologist' with an encyclopedic knowledge of flea lore... the show sparkles with wit. |

Before your eyes, the Lord of the Fleas... The crowd hooted and cheered for the mini-divas, whom Gertsacov brought to life. |
|
A charming show that flashes us back to Victorian times.... The Professor's fleas have the power to amuse. |

#1 SURE BET... This Rhode Island act wins hands down as the curiosity of the festival... Pure feel-good nonsense, amusing for adults, suitable for children. |
|
PICK OF THE LITTER ...This one man introduction to the flea and its performing capabilities is what the Fringe should be all about. It's funny, off-beat and skillfully delivered by Circus Master Professor A. G. Gertsacov of Providence, RI. You have probably heard of a flea circus, but have you ever attended one? Bring the kids and avail yourself of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. No bug spray allowed! |

This one man, two flea show is one of the top alternative circuses in the country. |
|
Equal parts bluster and hucksterism that transports the audience to the 1890's. The audience ends up cheering for fleas they'd normally want to kill. |
